Hi, can anyone answer the following questions;

1. How do I install Basiclinux 2.1 on a UMSDOS (just a plain dos based) 
partition? I'm running basiclinux on an old 8MB Pentium laptop . Speed 
isn't really that much of a problem - though I do know the laptop 
dosen't like ext2 much (it often stops with CRC errors, even from bootup 
:( . DOS partitons don't give any problems, however).

2. What do I need to do to install a file mamanger? I'd like to install 
a program called "xwc", which once came with older versions of linux. I 
also know this program requires "FOX" as well. BTW, a screenshot can be 
seen here: http://xwc.sourceforge.net/scrnshot.html

3. Can any programming langaugages be installed? I was thinking about 
this one ( http://www.arrakis.es/~ninsesabe/blassic/ ) . It's quite 
simple but when I tried to install it I could not find most of the 
libraries needed :( .

BTW, I've read in this mailing list about someone wanting to make a 
bootable linux CD. From memory this is pretty complicated - even making 
a mini ver. of linux that can run off floppy disk is pretty hard work :( .

Apologies if I've not responded to stuff before. I've been having a lot 
of spam problems (I'm just about on top of it now though). Thank you.
