As promised a summary of the reaction i got.
I got 4 reactions, the one from Kevin Burtch omitted here since that one is
also posted in the newsgroup.
Thanks to all for responding.

I am not an expert, by any means, but I have been running SLS V1.02 with
DOS 6. I have dblspace running on the dos disk, and I can run everything
I have tested on the linux side just fine. I am quite sure however, that
you will not be able to mount the DOS disk, due to the nature of dblspace.

I dd'd a boot image off my DOS6 boot disk and ran dosemu from that.
I then ran Quattro Pro.
I don't use dlb-space though.

Well, I installed SLS 1.02 on a disk along with a 40Mb partition
Dblspace-d, with no trouble. Mind you, I haven't used LILO - I just boot
from a floppy.
EM: well, it seems that it is possible to have a Linux partition and DOS
partition on 1 physical hard disk and use DblSpace within the DOS
`world'. Now i only have to backup 100 MB or so, fdisk the disk,
install Linux, re-install DOS, re-install DblSpace and restore...sigh :=(
Bye-bye!
