I am going to try one last time on this and then I promise you won't here from me again.
GIVEN THE FOLLOWING :- 1/ there are millions of Windows and Dos users out there. 2/ Ideally there should be equally millions of Linux users out there. 3/ many of us millions don't want to give up or find it usefull to keep our Dos and Windows. 4/ many of us millions would very much like to have the option of using both systems on our computer. WE WOULD LIKE THE FOLLOWING:- 1/ we don't want to have to know the technical details of how to get to the step4/ above (in the given table above). 2/we want one of the following:- A/ to be able to insert a floppy disk into our "a" drive , turn on the computer, the computer then loads DOS or whatever and eventually after enough time and floppys have been fead into the drive we see an up and running version of Linux. or:.. B/ turn on the computer with a floppy disk "a" which then prompts for a cd-rom which then loads a version of Linux. or:..c/ option 3 would be to allow Windows to to boot up and click on a cd-rom drive. and then the program on the cd would modify my computer so that Windows and Linux can run on the same machine. either :- 1/ separately 2/ selectably 3/ Windows under Linux or Visa versa 4/ some way the two can interact on the same machine 5/ or some combination of 1/2/3/4 IF you think that this can't be done then fine; but I bet Linus Torvalds could do it. I know bill can't do it he is too busy adding more bells and whistles to Windows4000 . Please don't take my pleadings to be for myself personally. There will come a time when the world wide demand for operating systems will be huge.This will come from third world countrys where literacy is low and computer literacy is even lower. I respectfully place myself in that catagory. TO your greater success!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE GOOD BY.
