Re: [Freedos-user] Need help installing on virt-manager

Yeah, `virt-manager` is (IMO) not as awesome VirtualBox or even plain `qemu` commands. I experienced the same "double" boot to install issue with KVM on RHEL7. I guess it is the way `virt-manager` works. However, in the end, I was able to install w/o issue (over `cockpit`) after the 2nd boot.

One thought, you could replace your c: drive with a cf chip from Komputerbay on Amazon. Just pull out the old hard drive and replace it with an IDE adapter and cf chip. You can save your old c: drive so can get back your old system by just plugging it back in, if you ever want 98 back. cheers DS

Hi! Actually if YOU have no problem with Windows 98 files still being on your FreeDOS C: drive, then there is no need to format, partition or delete anything. Of course you are free to use the normal DOS commands to delete those files which you no longer need. You could even install a boot
