This is interesting ... I actually visited with Dell back in August (about a month before 1.0) as part of my work. We met with several folks there, including the guy responsible for Dell's Linux program. I let him know that FreeDOS 1.0 was on the way, and he promised to get 1.0 in the pipeline for newer n-series systems.
I'm disappointed that they are still shipping beta8. FreeDOS 1.0 is much better, way more professional, not so buggy. (That said, beta8 was a good release, but newer is better in this case.) -jh On 6/15/07, Eric Auer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Elias, > > > I bought a new Dell n series with freedos. i want to install freedos on > > it from the CD.
