I finally got tired of dinking around with DOSes meant to be run from floppies like DR, PT and others and finally installed the MSDOS 7 from Windows 98 in my DOS partitiion. So far it is preemo!! It sees FAT32 without a problem!! In fact if I wanted I could reformat the FAT16 partition into FAT32 and run everything off it!! Its not bad as far as size goes- so far I'm only using about 300k for the basic kernel and its running my DOS programs perfectly- no GUI included- I hate GUI's!! No multitasking yet too but I'm working on the multitasking included with DR to see if I can get it to work. It needs long file name support too but I think I can steal that from Windows. If not there is plenty of Windows style LFN source out there so with a little modification it'll have it. To be honest Billy boy still has a really cool DOS!! And so far its kicking ass on every DOS I've tried so far!! But anyway since I finally have a DOS that works I can dump that crappy Win98 bulls**t partition and install Slackware in it like I've been planning!! Yippeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
