Hi! > If there is [a floppy disk version of FreeDOS] where can I download it?
Yes, standard answer is: SNIP --> Joris made a 8086 compatible variant --> http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjoris/freedos.html of the updated first diskette --> http://www.bootablecd.de/test/ ( http://www.bootablecd.de/freedos/ ) of the three diskette distro --> http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/threediskettes-freedos10.zip <-- SNAP ...HOWEVER, it would be nice if somebody wanted to help to improve the distro! In particular, there should only be ONE download, not THREE. That might still contain 4 disks if you want a separate 8086 start disk, but it should also be possible to get the 8086 boot mode as part of the normal distro and squeeze all into three disks :-). If anybody wants to help, thanks! PS: Also check http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdInstall http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdDependencies Note: The 3 diskette distro is just preinstalled FreeDOS. To install on a harddisk, use the usual way: XCOPY the files, EDIT config / autoexec, SYS to make bootable. If you have no FAT partition yet (NTFS is not for DOS), you can use a Linux distro installer or a Windows partition editor or similar tools to make Windows smaller to make space for a - preferrably primary - FAT partition first. Such tools can do that without having to reinstall Windows. Note 2: If you already HAVE any operating system with FAT and networking support installed on the same computer, you can copy one of our CD distro images into c:fdbootcd.iso and then use the CD distro boot diskette to install from VIRTUAL cdrom. Then you get all files but need no cdrom! Please let me know which way of installing you will use and feel free to ask when there are more questions.
