Hmm...you could load everything in low memory (I think its the opposite of
the LH command..it's been a while since I used the full version of
FreeDOS).As for disabling features,try typing MODE MONO then editing the
Fdconfig/config.sys files.As for disabling further features,perhaps using
smaller drivers?Try getting some of the drivers from the MS-DOS disks (for
the keyboard and such).Interrupt drivers tend to take up space,so try using
smaller ones.
