Subject: using Linux and DOS
Date: 23 Jan 1992 17:11:27 GMT

I am currently using Dos on my 40 Meg drive on my 386sx.

Now I have use Unix much more the dos, and only got it for a cheap system
at home, and to play games on.

I would like to try Linux and would be willing to buy a second drive, 80
Meg IDE drive, and use it as my second drive and dedicate it to linux.

BUT, I would like to keep the original PC working as is.

Is this possible? Can I start up with DOS and then switch over to linux?
is 80 Meg enough to do Linux stuff?

Have others done something like this?

thanks for any help and discussion.

Jim
