<EM> <EM>Umsdos</EM> is a linux file system. It provide an alternative
|
|
to the <EM>EXT2</EM> file-system. Its main goal is to achieve
|
|
easier coexistence with <EM>Ms-DOS</EM> data by sharing the same
|
|
partition.
|
|
This document explain first how to use Umsdos in different
|
|
configuration, and later explain its operation and try to
|
|
provide some information letting you decide if it is
|
|
a good choice for you (see UMSDOS-WHY-TO at the end).</EM>
