Subject: Linux on a 2-Drive Machine
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001 09:12:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000b01c16c4d$47e42460$e08caad8@tds.net> (raw)
Hello,
I have a machine with two disk drives. The C drive is now running Windows
98. The D drive is used for backup. The machine boots into dos, so I can run
dos programs if Windows commits suicide. I'm thinking of puting Linux on
what is now the D drive. Then I would have a little DOS program to start it
up after the machine boots. How can I write such a program? How do I install
Linux on what is now the D drive. There will be plenty of space to still use
it for backup. Better still, there are other machines on our network which
can be used for backup.
Thanks a lot.
John
