Moikka Leke! I'm new to FreeDOS myself, but I'll try to help anyway...someone with more knowledge will be able to help more.

I don't know if there is a floppy alternative for the complete CD distro, but there's the ODIN distro which is basically the whole core of FreeDOS on one floppy, if I've got it right. > I got as far as partitioning the C: drive then at the 'cd-rom install > error' screen I hit option 2 to install from diskettes and it gave me. > > Drive is FAT12. > Bad command or file name - "disk2.bat" > Bad command or file name - "ERRORLEVELS" > (etc.) > > I checked fdisk again and it confirmed that it was a FAT32. Like I said I am not a 100% sure about this, but my first impression is that it tried to find disk2.bat etc from the floppy. Hence FAT12. And since you used a boot floppy that is intended for a CD install, it didn't contain the files of "Disk 2". Floppies are FAT12, and floppy drives don't show up on FDISK, so I'm sure your hard drive is FAT32. As I understand it, FreeDOS' support for FAT32 is limited, though, but I could be dead wrong on that one, too. I installed FreeDOS on a FAT16 partition using a bootable CD that I created from the bootable CD image file. While this is by far not the only way to install FreeDOS, I personally find it to be the easiest and most convenient way. /Mika ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
