Eric,
In general, I agree with you.
1) Doing the (possibly) surprising thing would be wrong: if an MBR exists,
overwriting it without mentioning it to the user would be wrong. However,
changing the partitioning (as I did) and not having a booting system was
also very surprising (and wrong IMO).
This is tricky - replacing the MBR when things already work
would be dangerous! It can destroy boot menus and similar.
I would say if there is NO MBR at all yet, it would be okay
to automatically replace it. If there is some MBR, but the
DOS partition is not yet marked as bootable, it would be a

Hi,
Exactly. If you want networking, install it afterwards. The same for sound,
the myriad of development choices and memory managers. Despite wanting to
emulate DOS, it seems FreeDOS more closely emulates a Linux distribution
from the verbose initial boot to the "package" selection.
