I used the default, minimal install. No updates to
autoexec.bat/config.sys. That's a Jerome question.

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
Well...so I finished my testing late last night with the MSI Wind Netbook.
I ran into an issue the MBR was never updated by FDI 1.2. :/ Figured it
out eventually. You can read more about it here [0]. There's pictures and

Now, I need to produce an ISO now for the eMachines M6805 I have (n
Is there an ISO yet of FDI/FD 1.2preX? Forgot that M6805 has a broken BIOS

I downloaded it last night. I have an MSI Wind U100 (Atom N2700, 2GB DDR2,
120GB SATA) [0] and an eMachines M6805 (AMD Athlon 64 3000+ DTR, 512MB
PC2700, 4GB IDE) [1] I can test with when I get home tonight.

Hello Eric and all,
A little more follow up on the USB stick test.
The same user who was testing, per my suggestion ran it in advanced mode to
override the automatic D: drive as the install target. He said the install ran
flawlessly when he set it to C:\FDOS.
He did say that he had an issue b
the first drive/partition.
Is this right???
My explanation is a bit bad...

Well, I just got some feedback from a Facebook user who really really wants the
USB stick installer and tried that image I made.
He had 4 problems, but was still happy it mostly worked.
1) he had to manually start setup.bat. Which prompted for the "full shell
command line"
humm...
