I gave up on installing freedos. I am waiting for someone to fix the installer cd iso. JeffM. wrote: Yes, I also had problems installing service release 2 to hd with the cd.

I am installing onto a Toshiba Libretto 110CT which only has a floppy drive attachment. The boot disk works just fine and it even went so far as to properly format the hard drive and create a DOS partition. It also seems to have done a proper installation of a barebones bootable DOS on the hard drive. So far, so good. However, running the installer on the boot disk (which will presumably prompt for the other installer disks so I can get more robust functionality) produces a full page of text that goes by far too quickly to read. The following screen says that "some files are missing" and aborts the installation. Presumably the installer is referring to itself, not my hard drive.

I had a lot of the same kind of messages with The cd install which is built on the disks imagine. Keep trying menu options combinations, eventually I got through them And it installed.
