1) In a multi-partitioned environment, how am I supposed to correctly install freedos on a partition without writing over the mbr where grub/lilo/etc resides. 1a) Do I need to install FreeDOS on each fat32 partition? 2) Now I am unable to access my linux partition. This drive has 6 partitions. Three are fat32 dos partitions, one is Linux swap, one is Linux and the last is about 2 gb laying fallow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
