My internal hard drive is partitioned into C and D drives. The entire contents
of the C:\DOS directory is backed up on drive D. I also have an MS-DOS boot
disk that includes my current autoexec.bat and config.sys files.

Don't need a network card with a dial-up modem. As for packet driver, Arachne
comes with some. I am definately willing to try other browsers.

I want the fat32 in order to see drives and files on my win98 computer if I use
Laplink. I was also hoping FreeDOS will do a better job of getting Arachne
online. It reports low memory with MS-DOS. I have run memmaker several times.

The 486 that I plan to use FreeDOS on currentlyrCA has MS-DOS 6.22 as its only
OS. My plan is to completely replace it but keep all my installed programs. The
SCSI drivers are all in C:\SCSI and I notice FreeDOS has its own equivalent of
MSCDEX.EXE.
