I found it very interesting to install DOS onto a PC from CD-ROM -
this is something I've not done since Caldera gave me the sources for
DR-DOS 7.02 on CD-ROM!
I found the setup process a bit fraught, though. It seemed to me to be
far more complex than it needed to be.
For one thing, it seems to

I feel very strongly that we must not have timeouts on the options when
you first boot. Eric gives a good example - it happened to me. I was

happened to get a phone call. When I looked back at my session, I had

They have 15 seconds the first time (Win98 only gives 10 FYI), and the
second timeout gives 30 seconds. More than enough IMHO.

Please do not make that kind of assumptions. P
The only two timeouts are the first timeout which defaults to boot
from the hard drive rather than the CD-ROM (nothing wrong with that
IMHO), and the second just boots defaultly into installation mode,
which is what most people will be after.
