Subject: switching between LINUX and DOS
Date: Sat, 2 May 1992 00:18:10 GMT


Let's say I either have two hard disk drives or one hard disk which
is partitioned. Let's say that one drive is formatted for LINUX and
the other for DOS.

When I turn on the machine, will it come up DOS or LINUX ? What will determine
this? Let us say I am using DOS or LINUX at a given moment. Let's say
I want to switch to the other one. How will I do that? For example,
if I am in DOS, the DOS cd command may assume that the other disk is
formatted for DOS and think it can't change me to the disk that has
LINUX on it. So how do I use LINUX when I want to, and vice versa?
