Very impressive "beta?" installer. I tested it several ways;
the test machine is a Compaq Armada 1750 Laptop, PII MMX with 320MB
ram a 60gb hard drive and a CDROM drive.
1) Installed over existing FreeDOS 1.1.1
2) Installed with a blank formatted C: drive
3) Installed with a non-formatted drive.
The installer performed as expected with no hiccups whatever.
Can't wait for the rest of the packages to be included!
