sorry I misunderstood; I seem to recall seeing the name 'loadlin'
in the Linux suite someplace, and assumed it was a Linux program.
Then I take it, that i'd havta switch the drives, put the Linux
drive on IDE 1, the drdos on IDE 0, and download loadlin from
mandrake or someplace?
drdos offers a config.sys option such as...
? c:\drdos\loadlin.exe
at which point it would halt and wait my Y/N choice to run loadlin.
and then it would switch to begin booting off the Linux MBR, and
abandon running the rest of config.sys ...
should loadlin be first, before emm386.exe or anything...?
