LINUX Help Concurrent DOS/Windows and LINUX

Can I run LINUX concurrently with DOS/Windows?

In general, the answer is no. You can boot either LINUX or DOS/Windows, but you cannot run both at the same time. However, with lots of work, you can run some DOS/Windows applications under LINUX. It is not easy, but it can be done. I (Tom Wallis) have heard of WSU students doing this, but it wasn't easy. There is a program called DOSEMU that is the beginning of this process. Look on your CDROM for more information.
