Perhaps the simplest solution would be to relocate the existing C:\FDOS to C:\FDOS.001. (If C:\FDOS.001 already exists, increment to C:\FDOS.002 .. etc.) And rename the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to AUTOEXEC.001 and CONFIG.001, etc. Your V8 Power Tools have the ability to do some math operations, so I guess this is possible? For others who want to have a "Developer" or "Power user" version of the FreeDOS install process, I think that's fine. But I don't want it to interfere with the primary FreeDOS install process. Perhaps a solution would be to develop a separate "Power user" install BAT script .. anyone who wants to use this alternative could exit the primary FreeDOS install process, and run the "Power user" version from the command line.
