If what you tried to copy is the directory C:\LINUX that was created in a
umsdos-clone, there should be no long filenames in it. Long paths is
another problem. If your direcory LINUX is not at the top level (i.e.
C:\TESTING\FEBRUARY\LUCA\LINUX\MU\LINUX), then you get longer paths. DOS
will only accept directory structure up to an overall path-length of ...
255 characters or something.
If you were NOT copying a umsdos-tree, I suggest it. Install on some other
computer and copy the tree with 'tar' and 'untgz.exe' (I'll send it, if
you like). Remember to install swap space on the big computer before you
copy the tree, since your thinkpad has only 4mb.
Good luck.
