While fumbling along with WIN95 (yuck) here at work it hit me that
WIN95 is able to put long filenames onto a MSDOS FAT filesystem.
They way they do it is easy, and I'm thinking of putting support
into our msdos filesystem driver.
Would this bring us closer to running of a msdos filesystem ??
(modulo unstabilities in the msdosfs support).
It should be possible to load the files under dos with a
special utility (or WIN95) and then run FreeBSD off of that
directory right??
