Normally (but not always) it is called "autoexec.bat", which is called from the shell from within "config.sys". IIRC, some DOSes have different names (sometimes for dual booting, e.g. DR-DOS: dconfig.sys, autodos7.bat). For FreeDOS, "fdconfig.sys" is read before "config.sys". And in that you can specify a different name for the .BAT, e.g. see below for what I personally use (non-standard!): !SHELL=\SYSTEM\COMMAND.COM \SYSTEM /E:1024 /MSG /P=\FDAUTO.BAT You can also technically change the "kernel.sys" file name and use a switch of SYS to boot a different name, but that's quite obscure. Sure, normally it's okay to do whatever if you're running a single DOS alone, but sometimes you want to have multiple paths of execution (e.g. "BOOT" / MetaKern). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
