A couple of more things.

I had a really tough time trying to find the wattcp.cfg file as the c:
\fdos\bin was the most unlikely place I would expect it.  Why not /etc?
<grin>

After setup and configuring the wattcp.cfg file, it forgets to insert a
"nameserver".  And teh install will hang with the error "No nameserver
configured...".  I hope nothing else had to be configured by the
installer.  :-/

Reason why I'm interested in Freedos, UniFlash.  I need a way to flash
my bios as I'm working on trying to get by default motherboard bios
replaced with LinuxBios.  Linux-MTD isn't giving me a good solution for
working with my flash parts yet.
