Here I have this awesome If you just need to read a write from a MSDOS floppy use the mcopy, mdir, mdel, etc. commands. If you want to get it from your hard drive, then you should run the SETUP program and there is a section specifically designed to allow you to mount your DOS drive. It does all the work for you and afterwards, you can get anything right off your MSDOS drive just like its a directory on your Linux partition. I am on the assumption that you are using the Slackware distribution. I never actually looked at the names of the people who have been discussing slackware so I assumed that it was you. If not, you will find all the info you need in the HOWTOs at sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO (I think)[B -Greg
