Chuck, Thanks for the reply. I guess I have to make my own kernal.
The main reason I want to run Debian on a dos partition is so that I can see unix files from the Win95 side (backups and other conveniences). The umsdos faq says that I shouldn't expect any degradation in speed or reliability, only size. Was this a false claim?

The performance penalty is going to be severe.
