Blair, as you know, the newer versions of ISOLINUX do not boot with older BIOSes like mine any more. As long as there are no ISOs of FreeDOS which use the old ISOLINUX, it is a perfectly valid alternative for me to boot another existing DOS version - in my case FreeDOS beta 9 - and then run the SETUP batch file on your cdrom to start the installation :-). And it works very well, by the way. Thanks for making the 1.0 install process almost completely independent from the files on the (360k) virtual boot disk which is used if you actually boot from the 1.0 cdrom. However, you should use "\..somewhere..\SHSURDRV" at that point, as only few "existing DOS versions" will provide it in their PATH. The rest works fine with "anydos", at least potentially. I hear that Win9x DOS is confused by some ISO detail. Might be improved, but I do not care much about it. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
