realizing there may be other answers, let me try that again.
you are saying if one intends installing freedos as the only operating 
system on a hard drive it cannot see a drive larger than 2 gig at all?
or are you saying that it only creates fat 16 partitions with the gig 
limit?
Meaning you cannot create a fat 32 partition in freedos at all?
Thanks,
Karen
