Nope - the msdos filing system within linux can't handle anything but
raw DOS partitions.
However, you can run the disc compression software from within a DOS
emulator process; I haven't tried Stacker this way, but my own system
(DRDOS + SuperStor) runs without a glitch under the emulator.
It's great - I get drives A: and B: (floppy), C: (emulator boot
image), D: (SuperStored DOS drive), E: (main DOS partition) and F:
(Linux file system's /usr/dos), all running happily together under
Linux.
Cheers,
