I ran slackware over umsdos just to try out linux, but I've since chucked all the documentation away. I think what you observe is just a feature of the way umsdos works. C:\LINUX gets promoted to / and C:\ is made visible to linux as /DOS, IIRC. Quite where one would expect to see /dev/hda1 mounted is a complete mystery to me! (Presumably, you can't see /DOS/linux either, even though you know C:\LINUX exists. I don't remember.) -- David Wright, Open University, Earth Science Department, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA U.K. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +44 1908 653 739 fax: +44 1908 655 151 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
