Wow... I can see the ultimate system... Two main partitions, one with
OpenDOS, the other loaded with Linux! :)
I have a few questions:
-From the posts I've seen, I'm assuming that if you write a program
under OpenDOS, It can be run on other DOS systems, right? Would the
user have to install the OpenDOS EMM386 to run the program?
-Will OpenDOS have a TCP/IP stack and a dialer? :)
Sounds good...
