Hi Daniel Yes you can. FreeDOS will look for FDCONFIG.SYS first by default. If the FreeDOS kernel cannot find FDCONFIG.SYS, it then looks for CONFIG.SYS. So you can rename your FDCONFIG.SYS file to CONFIG.SYS and that will be fine. We look for FDCONFIG.SYS first because that makes it easier for folks to dual boot a computer with FreeDOS and MS-DOS. Since MS-DOS only looks for CONFIG.SYS, users can effectively have one config file for FreeDOS and another config file for MS-DOS, on the same disk. I'll add that you can also rename FDAUTO.BAT to AUTOEXEC.BAT *but you'll need to change all the references in your FDCONFIG.SYS/CONFIG.SYS file. You'll find the references on the SHELL lines.* Jim
