The above config files are just super stripped down "default FreeDOS 1.1” configuration files on an installed system. Being used to do bug and crash detection of FDINST. At preset, FDI (FreeDOS 1.2+ Installer) uses an even more stripped down configuration. Mostly it just loads everything to lower memory, loads the cd-driver and disk & floppy caching. FDI more or less just installs the same configuration that FreeDOS 1.1 creates. It customizes it dynamically to use the settings and choices that are made when running the installer. > Cheers, Eric > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
