I installed the dos 7.1 on a 4gig cf chip. It come with a gnu licence but belongs to microsoft - strange. It looks alot like freedos ; but I think FREEDOS is better - more to it. It uses cutemouse and a bunch of Linux stuff not native to microsoft. It seems to be a legal hybrid of sorts. I think this dos 7.1 is a legal copy, Maybe from microsoft itself.
