I have a couple of questions about using DOS from Linux.

1) I know that there is a DOS emulator that comes with Linux (I think I
have SLS 1.03, and the kernel is 00.99.12), and I know it was installed,
but how can I use it?

2) It seems there is a way to mount my DOS partition (/dev/hda1) from
Linux, but there was never an entry for it created in fstab, and the same
goes for my swap partition (/dev/hda3). I also haven't been able to
access the floppy drives (fd0 is 3.5" 1.44MB, fd1 is 5.25: 1.2MB).

3) Also, has anyone tried to use a Linux machine as a server on Windows
for Workgroups? I assume you would need the WFW TCP/IP drivers from
Microsoft ($25 extra).

Thanks.
