[Freedos-user] USB support/IPod

2010-04-07 Thread Mark Knecht

It's just my preference but why do *any* of this with the installation program? Maybe you'd be better off installing FreeDOS by hand, from scratch, making sure that works, and then installing just the components you really need. I'm new to FreeDOS. My first install was using gparted to create a
