Both. I had hoped to use the CD made from file fd11src.iso
to install FreeDOS. Isn't that the recommended procedure?

OK. If it damages the table in the process, there will be
a problem accessing data on parts 2, 3 or 4. Exactly what
I wish to avoid.

The FreeDOS 1.1 Base CD offers to apply fdisk; but you
recommend not using it? An installer which should not be used?

There's that ambiguity again. Do you mean hard disk drive as
in /dev/sda or part of a drive as in /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and etc.

Thanks for the ideas, ... Peter E.
