Wow... I can see the ultimate system... Two main partitions, one with
OpenDOS, the other loaded with Linux! :)

I have a few questions:

-From the posts I've seen, I'm assuming that if you write a program
under OpenDOS, It can be run on other DOS systems, right? Would the
user have to install the OpenDOS EMM386 to run the program?

-Will OpenDOS have a TCP/IP stack and a dialer? :)

Sounds good...
