Good day, everyone: I have updated my procedure and bootable CD for installing FreeDOS on almost any WindowsXP computer. You can install FreeDOS beside WindowsXP without damaging the WindowsXP installation.
The key programs are GParted, for shrinking the WindowsXP disk partition and creating a partition for FreeDOS, and GAG, for selecting whether to run WindowsXP or FreeDOS. These are included on the free CD. There is also a very stripped down version of FreeDOS which can be used to install right from the CD. The download links will be valid for three weeks. The ISO image is available at http://www.mytempdir.com/1086884 and contains a PDF file of the procedure. If you would like the PDF procedure file, you can get it from http://www.mytempdir.com/1086915 I would appreciate feedback from anyone who uses the procedure so that I can improve it. All of my computers boot both WindowsXP and DOS! I can do this in under ten minutes - it will take you a bit longer the first time.
