No, but you should be able to create a sub directory on the M$ drive
and install LINUX in it using the M$ format, I had one with windows 3.11
named LINUX and it was a hidden directory, the LINUX (Slack. 3.5) worked
better than the M$ 3.11. (it wasn't out of resources as it started)
You may have to boot with a floppy with loadlin in autoexec.bat to
get into it. It seemed faster than the M$ stuff to me.

I upgraded to LINUX, the more I use it, the more I love it.
It doesn't do everything for you, you must program it.
