Nicholas, (no duplicate posts received here from you)
I too have a 5.7 MB floppydiskette image, downloaded from some Russian site.
it had freedos bootsector in it.
you mention Win98, so you have access to win98.
if so, download WinImage (www.winimage.com) and you can open the image and replace files.
things you want to update:
*kernel -> update to 2033-fat32 ( http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109 )
*freecom (command.com) no need to update, this is the latest official released version
you can get the kernel and shell (freecom) version by typing VER /R
the last 3 months HIMEM.EXE has been improved to work with Isolinux/Memdisk properly, so you might want to use that instead of FDXMS.
can you post the config.sys and autoexec.bat used on your image? TYPE A:\CONFIG.SYS
TYPE A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
I'm very interested in your XMSdsk loading line: xmsdsk.exe 32000 R: /y /t
interim weekly compiled kernel versions are available from http://fdos.org/bootdisks/
you'll need Gzip (www.gzip.org) to decompress the .imz files (still waiting for the files to be renamed to .gz)
a complete updated 1.44MB bootdisk image is available from http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9rc5/fdos1440.img
use a tool like RAwrite to write the image to diskette ( http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9rc5/rawrite.exe )
it's my interim stuff.
hope you succeed in replacing files ("inject") using WinImage. If the imagefile already has FreeDOS bootsector, there's no need to write a new one.
