Hello Usul Thank you for the information. How big is this file? I only have dialup and I use a 'autoserver' at Trieste to go and fetch files for me. On e-id-sa-me freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net said: If you go to the following ling there is a zip file http://www.ibiblio. org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1disk/ bootfd/ 1) unzip the file some place like c:\bootfd 2) insert diskette in drive A: 3) run install.bat script 4) Copy you program and set it up as you would normally. Let me know if you need any more assistance. Sincerely, Usul -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 6:21 AM Hi Friends I am new to Freedos, first I wish to make a bootfloppy, since I am blind I want to see if I will be able to use my screenreader program, it does work from msdos 2 - dos7.. The freedos file I have is about 20meg in size and there is a lot of talk of 'gui' that I do not need, what should I use to make a bootfloppy just for a test please. The computer I use for dos7 is a pentium 120mhz only a hard drive and not cdrom drive, the files I have has been taken from a cdrom, using a 'backpack' external drive connected to the paralel port. The dates are mostly 2004 and one 2005. I did look for a 'makefloppy' file but did not see one.
