Hi Kurt: I've been following this thread with some interest. I think it's simpler to just install FreeDOS in its own partition. You can use a boot manager to select which OS to boot at startup. My favorite, because it is very easy to install and configure, is GAG (gag.sourceforge.net). Eric disagrees of course. :-) You could create three primary partitions and install FreeDOS, MSDOS, and Windows98. Let me know if you have any questions. For partition fiddling, I usually use a Linux LiveCD and a program called gparted (see www.sysresccd.org if you are interested). Good luck. 73, Mark, KD4D ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
