Uh, I don't really remember what exactly made me use DR-DOS. I had
various little problems, like Alt, Ctrl or Shift hanging sometimes,
the mouse being moved into the xdosemu window when its size changed,
refresh problems, limited screen resolutions, but I'm not sure which
of these problems happened with which hdimage.
One problem with freedos was that I was not able to pass parameters to
batch files, and so I switched to DR-DOS again, which I had used
before using Gentoo. I also think with freedos xdosemu did not allow
copy&paste with the mouse.
