UMSDOS muLinux: self-extracting zip archive
What is UMSDOS
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
In the case you experienced problems performing the standard installation steps (low memory, etc), a <a href="mu/umsdos/mu13r2.exe">self-extracting zip</a> is available,
the image of a bare-minimum, pre-installed UMSDOS muLinux: the
base system, with the USR, WKS and SRV addons already loaded (6MB circa).
<br>
The self-extracting archive expands itself in c:\linux and runs
in the Dos prompt of your Win system:

<pre class="shshell">
c:\> mu13r2.exe
</pre>
<p>
UMSDOS (Unix-like File System for DOS) is a filesystem driver that allows Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, to be run on top of MS-DOS or Windows 9x systems. It was developed to facilitate the use of Linux on systems where a native Linux partition was not feasible. UMSDOS achieves this by using the existing FAT (File Allocation Table) filesystem while providing Unix filesystem features such as long filenames, file permissions, and symbolic links. This enables users to install and run Linux without repartitioning their hard drives. Although UMSDOS was popular in the early days of Linux, it has largely been superseded by more modern filesystems and installation methods.
