If you're already running Windows XP, you may consider booting FreeDOS from within a virtual machine. You can use VMWare, or VirtualPC, to do this. It's easy! Actually, in the final months before we had released "1.0", I booted all the test distributions in a virtual machine, and not a physical PC. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
