It depends, and, anyway, I'm not sure what you mean. You can use the mtoolsQuote:>This may sound dumb, but I'm DOS-centric. Is it possible to use Linux

you could also mount your floppy drive using the msdos file system
mount -t msdos -o rw /dev/fd0 /floppy
this way you can read/write to the floppy from any app.

Hello No!

All you need to do is mount your 95 harddisk - see the mount manual page for
more details ("man mount")
For filesystem type, you'll want to use vfat if you've got kernel support for
it, as this supports the Win95 long filenames. Else, you'll have the use msdos.
Is this what you wanted?
