I'm waiting for parts to arrive for a new system. I can probably get a copy of MSDOG, but I'd like to avoid this. Eventually it will perhaps be necessary to install Windows 95 or Windows NT and MSDOG, but to begin with, I will install Linux.
I expect to be able to create the installation disks for Debian on my long faithful machine electra. Can I reasonably expect to pull this off without installing DOS at all? Can I format the disks from the install disks? Can I partition them, all that? Another question, out of curiosity: will it be feasible to install Windows95 later on? Will it stomp on the linux system? What about DOG---can I reasonably expect to install that AFTER linux, without a problem? Better still, can I run DOSEMU without having MSDOG installed ever at all? I have a few programs like skyglobe and another astronomy sky disply program, HYPERSKY, that I would like to run, as well as several other programs. I guess I would really need Windows 3.1 to run that on DOSEMU?
