I mentioned the reliance on DOS for Linux installs once in the Linux echo when everyone was trashing DOS there. Of course, they all insisted that a bootable CD made DOS unnecessary failing to comprehend that everyone cannot boot from a CD. LOL My website logo "DOS the GHOST in the Machine" was prompted by my realization that after all the years that have passed even 'new' OS users must rely on DOS at some point or other.
