Good day, all: I am working on the next version of a procedure to add FreeDOS to almost any WindowsXP computer in a dual-boot configuration and WITHOUT destroying the WindowsXP installation. When the computer boots, you can select either WindowsXP or FreeDOS.
I'm using open source Linux tools to shrink the WindowsXP NTFS partition. I would like a couple of volunteers to test the Version 2.0 Alpha procedure and provide suggestions and corrections. You should be comfortable with DOS commands and rebooting your computer. You do NOT need any Linux experience. You will need a WindowsXP computer you would like to also have FreeDOS installed on, a backup of any critical data you have on that computer, a high-speed internet link, and a CD burner. A floppy disk drive will make this easier, but is not necessary. If you would like to dual-boot a new computer with FreeDOS, and want to help test this, please send me an e-mail and I'll send you the current draft of the procedure. After a few volunteers run through it, I'll get the updated procedure posted on the web somewhere. Thanks.
