In addition to the other suggestions put samba on the Linux box. What I did was give 95 a different IP and machine name than Linux on the same box. This is helpful because when I boot the same machine into Linux, it has nfs exports that wouldn't be there under 95. Using samba, I started migrating files to the Linux box. I got to the point where all I needed for 95 is an old 233mb Maxtor. The primary reason I have any 95 capability at all is that I get free software for shipping, ordering, banking, etc. from vendors. One of them was offering free ground freight on electronic orders, so I would boot 95 and run the software which dials a toll-free number and order product. One of these days we'll have a windows emulator that works with these programs and just run them as a Linux task. See my LDP mirror at http://www.wtop.com/LDP for latest howto's, including samba. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
