RWBC:>Hey,
RWBC:> Can anyone tell me just how safe it is to use mtools on my 130 meg
RWBC:>dos partition? I don't want to have to go the expensense of messing it
RWBC:>up. I have been hesitant in the past, so I just use a floppy. It would
RWBC:>make things much easier if there is no real chance of damage being done.

RWBC:>Thanks,
RWBC:>Rob

Well I have been using MTOOLS on my SEVERELY hacked 0.97pl1.5 system.
On this system I have installed the extended file system, the dos file system
extension for mounting dos partitions and I have yet to experience ANY
problems with any of the packages so far. Ive been using MTOOLS for about
3 weeks daily without any problems. Works great. Fast too!
