Nope im running Mandrake 8.1 and have DRDOS 7.3 on another 
scsi drive HOWEVER while looking around with Konquer I noticed
in the directory mnt (mount) that I could see everything on my DOS
drive. so just to see,I copyied a jpg file to my dos download directory 
and it worked ,and it also works to copy stuff from dos into linux!
how can this be? linux is on it's own 2scsi drives and dos is on
it's own scsi drive!
BUT linux seems to want to put some secret stuff on the dos drive
I discovered this while trying to run diskopt (drdos) using undelete in
the directory of download,found a bunch of unreadable stuff!
finally got rid of it with a program called cyborg2
any one explain please.
