If someone were ambitous they could proably build a UMSDOS installer script for Knoppix to copy into C:\Linux... I once played with running Debian:Slink from a 800MB Fat drive (when I had Win95)....

The other possiblity would be UVFAT, which doesn't mangle the names under VFAT(FAT32)....

The kernel needs to have UMSDOS/UVFAT support built in for it to work be able to mount and boot properly.

Anyway check out http://linux.voyager.hr/umsdos/ for details
