That partial support is based on "heavy" patches it seems... As said, the windows 386 mode support even in the unstable kernel is not compiled in by default because it is more experimental than normal unstable. >>> If I don't load emm386.exe, freedos version, I get an error that I >>> have an unsupported dos version. >>> If I try loading windows 3.1 in standard mode, I get an error that >>> there isn't enough extended memory. >> Did you try using jemm386 instead?

Note that this is STANDARD mode and not Windows for Workgroups: It should run easily with all kernels including 2036 and 2038 stable, but it can easily fail because of incompatible hardware or drivers. Making Windows 3 run on modern computers and with FreeDOS can be somewhat hard no matter which fancy patches for the kernel you have. You could probably try with MS DOS or Win9x DOS to see what I mean...
