Good day, all: I have updated my procedure for adding FreeDOS to an existing WindowsXP installation. The procedure allows you to shrink a WindowsXP NTFS disk partition slightly, create a FAT32 partition for FreeDOS in the freed up space, and install FreeDOS. When you turn on a computer with this modification, a menu comes up allowing you to select whether to boot WindowsXP or FreeDOS.
It is not necessary to re-install WindowsXP to do this. There is a bootable CD image that comes with the procedure that contains GParted (a graphical program to manipulate partitions), a bootloader called GAG, and a simple FreeDOS boot image. This is a BETA upgrade to the existing procedure and ISO image on http://odin.fdos.org/dual/, fdinst091.pdf and fdinst091.iso. If anyone is willing to BETA test this, please send me an e-mail and I will send you the word document and a download link for the CD image. I would like to make it as easy as possible for people to install FreeDOS on brand new, WindowsXP computers! All of my computers boot WindowsXP and various flavors of DOS. Thanks very much in advance! Mark Bailey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
