Sounds good, though as mentioned, FreeDOS does have some issues with Win 3.1 due to rare bugs. I gather that the kernel devs never were too interested in Win 3.x, but I can't help but wonder if it's not THAT hard to fix, esp. since DOSEMU and DOSBox etc. handle it fine. Oh well, wishful thinking. BTW, anybody know which kernel is best for Win 3.x? Is it still 2037 or did that get migrated to 2039 and 2040 also? What exactly did it do differently? Is there a checklist? This is as close as I know of, offhand: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Install (quote from above): "Windows 3.0 and 3.1 must be run in STANDARD mode (type WIN /S (unless you installed the unstablx [2037] package), and SHARE must be loaded. Otherwise Windows will crash as soon as you open a DOS box or DOS program in it." Anyways, you can actually dual boot both FreeDOS and MS-DOS.
