Hi Tomas,
While the paid version of serva has more features, I
would really assume that booting ISO over network is
one of the things you can do for free. And I believe
you said booting from usb is not supported on aopen?
If you google: "pxe" iso freedos then you get a list
of other people expl

Yes... of course, but I needed Serva for Windows, so it is easier to
get everything in the same menu.

Maybe, but you said you cannot boot Linux yet and
therefore prefer to use a DOS installer.

You can format in DOS, too, but the problem is that
our FDISK has no support fo
In case anybody needs this in future,
LIVE & LGCY are USB images, so that is apparently just not compatible
with Serva.
After formatting the disk and SYS'ing it, I can boot and read the USB
drive, so can get the files in that way.

Hi again,
I tried these:
FD13FULL.IMG: print dots for a long time, then back to menu
FD13LIVE.IMG: immediately back to menu
FD13LGCY.IMG: immediately back to menu
FD13FLOP.IMG: boots ok, fails at HIMEMX.EXE
With the last one I can boot, and then format the disk (ie Freedos
partition), but try

Yes... Linux creates a boot menu, I thought that was obvious.

Hi Tomas,
while you cannot use Linux, but have made a DOS partition
in another way, maybe even directly using Windows, you
will have to make sure that it is FAT16 or FAT32. As you
can boot via Serva, it does not have to be bootable!
It MUST not be bootable if you want Windows to stay the

Could also be himemx and probably exe, not sys. But if
you cannot find it on "the disk", maybe you mean ISO
image? That contains a separate floppy image for the
boot process

The line that triggered the error was (I believe) calling
