Re: Debian generic kernal w/umsdos?



Chuck,

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have to make my own kernal.

The main reason I want to run Debian on a dos partition is so that I can
see unix files from the Win95 side (backups and other conveniences). The
umsdos faq says that I shouldn't expect any degradation in speed or
reliability, only size. Was this a false claim?
