Richard J. Linane:
 |I have an unsupported CD-ROM Drive.
 |
 |I would like to install some of the programs in the Packages
 |Distribution.
 |
 |The only choice I have to install from as a source is a DOS Partitian or 
 |from alot of floppies.
 |
 |I think it might intail the mounting of the MS-DOS partitian on the same
 |drive.
 |Do I need to mount the partitian to do this and if so how?
