differently, I'm afraid. The person who contributed the menu system made it use numbers, which was good enough for our purposes: ; config.sys loads system drivers. Please edit to suit your needs. !SWITCHES=/F /N menucolor=7,0 menu 1) Install FreeDOS menu 2) Safe mode menu 3) LiveCD (XMS/EMS/UMB) menu 4) LiveCD (XMS) menudefault=1,120 4?DEVICE=C:\DRIVER\HIMEMX.EXE 013?DEVICE=C:\DRIVER\JEMMEX.EXE NOEMS X=TEST 012345?SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM c:\ /E:2048 /F /MSG /P=C:\FREEDOS\FDAUTO.BAT 0134?DOS=HIGH 034?DOS=UMB 034?DOSDATA=UMB 012345?FILES=20 012345?BUFFERS=20 012345?LASTDRIVE=Z afterwards it sets %config% to a number so can be used in batchscripts to load/do stuff depending on which option was selected. [ http://www.bootablecd.de/fdhelp-internet/en/index.htm ] might contain some specifics to use of menu system in fdconfig.sys/config.sys (and I'd recommend naming it fdconfig.sys so msdos can keep using config.sys) Bernd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
