You can even NOT do it, since gcc Depends: on cpp. Actually it would have
deleted cpp already if it conflicts with gcc.

dual processors - yes, you need to compile the kernel by yourself
windows 3.1 - yes with wine (free) or WABI ($200)
windows 95 - NO

Ooops. I just bounced this post, hoping elm would let me edit it. :-(
I tried Linux 2.1.13, and found that start-stop-daemons,
which Debian uses extensively during bootup, did not work,
and possibly some other scripts. Hence 2.1.13 was useless
and I am back to 2.1.10. Has anyone else experienced t

Alternatively, if you don't use PEX and XIE then don't add the Load

I have heard that there is an SMB client for DOS. Check out:

There is indeed a MS "DOS for Workgroups" product. You need Microfoft's

If you have 8MB and at least a 486 on the client systems, run Windows 95
on them and boot it in DOS mode most of the time. You'd really only have
