[Freedos-user] Using curl with fdupdate.

2008-02-13 Thread robinson-west user

I'm on a 486 DX2 66 EISA bus, no VLB. 20 megs of SIMM ram, 30 pin. Is there a copy of memtest86+ for freedos, it would be silly if this turned out to be a bad memory problem. autoexec.bat: --- @echo off if not %config% == 4
