many thanks for the guidelines, I think I'll try this next week
(when hopefully I'll get a dos6.22 setup disk set;-).
maybe in the meantime I'll try what I was speaking of in the prevoius
post: with copying I'll not harm my system, I'm curious to see
if that could work, if you want I can keep in contact with you
for the results of the "experiment";-).
however I thinked to move win95 around because actually my
2nd hd is much larger than the 1st..., so that hdb2>>hda1,
and in the 2nd there's a fully configured linux sys I don't want to
loose, so that I cannot swap the disks and reinstall win95 in the larger
(I will not have space for saving linux from the destroyer...).
the reason why I need dos6.22+win3.11 is that I MUST use
some quite old prog's to analyze some data in a very difficult format... sigh!
I tried to overcome that with hexeditor's but it's quite hard w/o right
specifications :-(, I tried also dosemu and wine, but actually I didn't
get anything working (I mean the interesting prog's, nor dosemu or wine).
anyway many thanks again
ciao fede
