- How do I get DR-DOS 6.0 to recognize two diffrent bootable systems,
- i.e. DR-DOS and Linux ? There should be some boot function switch.
-
- When I try to run BOOTLIN as a normal program in DR-DOS it is possible
- to boot linux, provided I have no loaded device drivers, few buffers,
- no environment, etc... When I try to run it as a program under
- DR-DOS with all my device drivers, himem, environment and stuff, it
- loads, loads linux kernel, I get as far as the message 'Press RETURN
- to see SVGA-modes...'. However, regardless of whether I press RETURN
- or any other key, the machine hangs there. Ctrl-Alt-Del is also
- disabled. Is there something easy I can do about it?
-
- and....
-
- Where do I find the stuff for more than 14 characters in linux
- filenames? Does it work properly?
