If you want to have linux run under Dos download Monkey Linux from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/monkey/ .
It´s only 7.5MB, but it contain X-window and you can start it from Promt.
There are too some ready-to-install Packeges with NNavigator 3.0.1 Gold and
some other useful software!

I hope I´ve helped you!
