Hi!
If you boot FreeDOS from D: then it will still first
try to open C:fdconfig.sys and if that does not exist
it will use (Windows') C:config.sys - but it will not

Hi Blair (how are you? :-)),

SHSUCDHD which mounts CD/DVD ISOs,
ISOLINUXes MEMDISK which boots from
(optionally compressed) disk images
and indeed the
