Anyway I found a DOS GRUB while browsing the FreeDOS FTP directories in
a zip package. The
Hi friends, in a previous email, Bernd suggested that a short
explanation on how set up a DOS GRUB would be nice.
I'm not a professional writer but I'm pleased to try and document what I
understand for others in the form of a how-to.
