Pat; I can't put the hard drive into the Windows PC because work won't let me, however, I did finally manage to mount the hard drive with the following command;
Then put the drive on the Linux box, mount it with (assuming it is the second hard drive on the second ide controller) mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /mnt I now have access to all the DOS files that were installed. My next question is, is it possible, in simple step-by-step instructions, to set-up LILO to dual-boot between Linux on the first hard drive and DOS on the second hard drive on the second controller, i.e. hdd1. I plan to install DJGPP on this second drive so I can compile and run DOS programmes with DJGPP, a 32 bit DOS port of gcc. I'm not very interested in Windows as I have several Windows PC's available at work already. When I finally knuckle down and buy a PC for home, I will install WindowsNT4.0 and Linux as per the wonderful HOW-TO's I've already seen on the subject. This is just a special case because of the restrictions placed on me at work ( This IS a 'borrowed' PC still, I just have leeway ;-) Thank again to the list and ALL your assistance. I have a feeling that I will soon be running Linux like an expert and posting more solutions then questions in the near future ( I hope) Cheers, John Gay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
