First I installed Freedos 1.1 and used the 4x4 NEC cdrom, only the first slot seemed to work, to copy over the Windows 98SE cabinet files. I then proceeded to boot from the 98se cdrom and run setup from the directory with the cab files. Long story short, this screwed up the freedos installation. Is there a simple way to repair the freedos installation so that Windows and Freedos can happily coexist? Looks like freedos command.com got renamed to command.dos and I've already renamed autoexec.bat to fdauto.bat, but fdconfig.sys seems to be missing. One option is to use a program called fips, delete the freedos stuff, and install freedos to a second primary partition. This is somewhat of an extreme approach though. For the most part, I only want to run old games like Warcraft II where freedos + hxrt might do the trick, except that I'll need networking too. A working ReactOS would support these old games, but there hasn't been another release for months and I can't even get the latest trunk to build.
Running an unlicensed copy of 98 is not the best idea where there's the issue of 98 having a lot of bugs and being out of support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
