[SGVLUG] Linux Boot Disk with Wine?

[Mic Chow]

I was thinking the same thing; Knoppix.  I know that the 3.9 (CD 
version) has wine on it, but I am pretty positive that the DVD version 
has wine configured with all the trimmings.  The reason I had asked what 
the application is; is because Windows 3.1 and Win95 still have have a 
large connection to DOS, so you might get away with one of the FreeDOS 
versions too.
