oh, I don't know if I understand you, do you want to compile Linux under
***MS-DOS*** ?????? I use Linux at home and at work for 6 months, and I mean
that Linux is a Unix-System, isn't it? And you would really compile it under
DOS? Don't you know, that, if you start Linux on DOS (ROTFL), it deletes all
files with the string 'Microsoft' in it?
Nice idea, very nice. But you can compile (and link!) Linux better under
Linux. So, first install Linux, then enjoy it, delete your DOS-partition,
*then* you can compile Linux :-))
