Yes Henning it is possible to install DSL to your hard-drive, and it comes with all the necessary drivers to run your hardware. The MBR is the Master Boot Record section of your harddisk, and DSL Linux comes with both GNU GRUB and LILO bootloaders (when you install to hard-disk you can choose which bootloader to write to the MBR to start up Linux). The nice thing about Linux is that you can mount non-Linux partitions (like your FAT16/32 partition), resize them, format them, and do file and directory operations on their contents.

Okay, I guess I'm going with dual-boot FreeDOS and DSL. Thanks for your help!

Also win98, thanks for joining up & I hope you have fun. This thing is already shaping up into something pretty nice.
