Excuse me for asking this question before RTFM... I don't yet have a
machine that I can run linux (or LINUX?) on for another month or so, but
does linux support installable filesystems, or is the Minix file system
hardcoded in? If so, is anyone working on an DOS filesystems driver? I
know the DOS filesystem sucks majorly and I am not intending to use it for
anything serious, but I can see it being quite useful to allow shuttling
data between DOS and linux. I presume most linuxers also are running DOS
on their machines, and if your machine is not directly connected to the
Internet one may wish to bring home new files on DOS floppies from another
machine.
Or am I completely looney?
