It seems version 99.10 won't read the floppy, etc since it's a developer
release, it's beyond me why they included it with RH 6.0, I assume it was
a mistake but they have included it with 6.1 now too. I've emailed them
about this but of course, no action, no reply. Last time I checked it
wasn't even in the errata. You'll have to get the stable version, and
BTW don't use freedos if you have a real version of dos to use.
