Then the installer starts automatically. Select your language. Then exit the installer. This will quit the installer an drop you to a command prompt. From there, you can run fdisk, format and several other commands to manually partition and/or format the a hard drive and transfer system boot files. > -- > Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. > > Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[Freedos-user] Upgrade Frotz to 2.50
The version of Frotz included in 1.3rc2 is still 2.43. Could we get that upgraded to 2.50? This release fixes a bunch of rather severe memory allocation bugs. -- David Griffith d...@661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

[Freedos-user] Do any of the installation media boot options allow to simply boot and run FORMAT C: /S?
Do any of the installation media boot options allow to simply boot and run FORMAT C: /S ??? I don't need anything more than a bootable HD primary from which to boot FreeDOS and run a Dell BIOS upgrade where no floppy, CD or USB boot is possible. The boot menu on the installation media suggests no such option is possible, while some suggest it's likely I'd lose the existing partitioning that I do not want disturbed. What do Install to harddisk and Create drive C: actually entail? Can either produce a simple DOS prompt? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I don't know what happened to it, and I can't find a link. I think that one may have stalled out.
