Hi friends, One of my HDs recently died, corrupting a few essential system files on the way. It didn't distroy the system, but it is no longer as 'perfect' as it was. Given this, and the fact that I want to update to slink, I've decided to do a complete new install on a new 6.4G HD, and copy accross everything of interest (like my home directory).
This is going to be a full-time, 100% uptime, linux box. But having said that, I'd like to play around with WINE and DOSEmu a bit. Although I know what WINE is, I've never played with it myself. I do use DOSEmu tho, and I have a 20M image file set up with Caldera OpenDOS installed on it. My question is, given that I have a largish HD, is it worth me formatting one of the partitions with DOS (OpenDOS, prolly)? I can live with a large image file for DOSEmu if need be, but it might be easier having a whole 100M or something to play with as a partition. Might be handy if I ever need to boot into DOS too (god forbid!). What do other people do? Is it herasy to suggest one bit of a linux box be DOS? Is there any good reasons not to do it? Will a DOS partition make life easier with WINE (I'm hanging out to try this qualitative analysis package I have on linux...) Any thoughts (on or off list) are welcome...
