There are GNU/Linux installations based on the usmsdos filesystem. I've
done this with SuSE. I don't
No dude - the files that you have will be disk dump archives... essentially
images of a disk
To create the disks from dos/windows you'll need an executeable called
rawrite2.exe, which you can download from the same place you got the images.
Or if you have a unix box usedd if=imagename of=
you can use split.
you can also use tar -M

Hello Zach,
Have you used rawrite or dd? The disk-files are disk-images, this means,
they should be copied bit by bit to a disk, and not by some tools which
use the file-system, which is on the disk.
By writing the raw images, they should fit absolutely exactly on one disk.
