[plug] New to list

[Mike Massen, Network Power Systems]

Hi cHaps,

Just joined the list, have been using Win 3.11 with several systems for
a few years (quicker then W95), its OK as I can run multiple dos sessions
and do lots of DOS based cad programs, relatively reliable even whilst
on net with Nutscrape 4.08, Eudora 3.06 - yada yada...

I'm completely new to linux and wonder if this is feasible:-

A.	Install linux fresh on a Hdisk 420Mb cap but retain the old
	DOS file system - since all my other stuff will be MSDOS 6.20
	and I'm not yet setup for file transfers, no usable NICs :(
	(This way I can dump/save/refresh files easily) ?

B.	Load the appropriate program to allow me to use those CAD
	MSDOS pograms - like SCHEDIT, TRAXEDIT etc, DOS emulator ?

C.	Have some GUI front end like (better!) then Win 3.11 ?

Tah,



Rgds
