I tried to install FreeDOS 1.0 folling the HOWTO and it appears
to have failed rather miserably:
1) The HOWTO says it will create a boot menu that will allow
me to dual-boot. It didn't. I can no-longer boot WinMe.
2) No editors. emacs can't find it's .ed files, and none of
the "vi" clones is anywhere to be found despite my having
selected them during install.
3) Two crashes in the first two minutes:
a) A divide-by-zero when a CD drive wasn't ready.
b) EMM386 aborted when I booted and did the following
commands:
cd fdos
cd bin
ls -l v*
Is this typical or have I done something wrong? Have I trashed
WinMe? Is FreeDOS more likely to work if I install it in a
blank FAT partition?
