I have a question,which regards to a question I asked recently.When I tried
installing FreeDOS to my harddrive,it never booted after
installation.However,Jim,your comment 'we keep our files in C:\FDOS'
sparked something in my head.During the instillation process,when it asked
me what directory I was installing FreeDOS to,I changed it to C:\SYSTEM
instead of C:\FDOS.Would this affect anything?Did the kernel.sys and
config.sys look for FDOS?
