- Hey, here's a cool idea I had yesterday: Make a Linux filesystem
- driver that puts its filesystem in a file on an MS-LOSS partition.
- Why? Because there are undoubtedly a lot of people out there who'd
- like to try Linux, but aren't willing to completely back up their
- hard disk, repartition, and restore. But they might be willing to
- free up some disk space.

- No, I have neither the time nor expertise to implement it.
