Hi Johnson, I did not intend to insult people, I just wanted to say "most people will not want to delete Windows if it came preinstalled with their PC" / "Most people do not download DOS to 'clean' their PC and remove Windows".
I noticed that DOS / Win3 boots quite slow from USB (slow BIOS drivers). Disk writes are slow, too, and even un- reliable on some BIOSes. My comment is also related to Knoppix versus Linux-on-harddisk... Of course Knoppix is far more complex than DOS, but loading 10s of MBs of Linux into RAM from CDROM takes quite a bit of time and resources.

I want this kind of dualboot! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
