Thats what I was missing a boot disk which did not immediately jump into
installation.  That opens more possibilities than just a knoppix boot
disk.  There are times I need a DOS disk to handle DOS problems.

SUGGESTION:

Have two versions of FreeDOS CD from now on a boot disk and an install
disk.  Or an option on the menu to bypass install and simply boot.
