Hi all,
I created an initial version of a FreeDOS 1.0 install
howto, including a list of known problems and workarounds.
The text is partially based on the FreeDOS beta install
howto. Because the SF Wiki can be slow, I created a static

Dear Chris,
Probably your BIOS does not support booting from CD-ROM, you will have
to write the floppy disk boot image to a floppy disk using Rawrite for
DOS, Rawritewin or dd if you are using a Linux/BSD hosted system and
boot your 486dx2 from that floppy disk.
I installed FreeDOS 1.0 full on
I don't mind at all. A few contributions through this list are the least I
can do for the free use of a great operating system like FreeDOS.
