I think I have managed to get both MSDos and Freedos though currently I cannot boot into freedos
Trying to find a version of Linux that I like, I will probably pick Manjaro XFCE, that seems to run the best on that laptop and have access to the stuff I need/want which is mostly Virtual Box, and Visual Studio Code It still boots into MS Dos and Linux can see all the partitions I plan to create a swap dir at the end of the free space and then install linux into what is remaining. I am hoping that it will see the other distros and install grub properly, to boot into any of the goodness. At the least I expect that it will do a dual boot with MSDos and Linux, and I think I can massage grub to do the rest for me once I learn how.
