Hi Kurt, kernel.sys is a program (like exe), not a config file. It does open c:\fdconfig.sys and if it does not exist then it opens c:\config.sys instead. If neither is found, it just runs c:\command.com and the default activity of command.com is to run c:\autoexec.bat
So if your "fdauto.bat" would run while fdconfig.sys would be ignored, it would be a quite odd combination. You should also use F8 at boot to do things step by step so you can find out what is really going on. Eric > Put echo tags at beginning and end of fdconfig.sys; > even put them in the bat.

Can windows sysedit be used? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
