let's face it,
the freedos project suffers from
substantial fragmentation, and substantial disorganization.
if someone anywhere

will someone write the list and say so,

it is my sincere belief that everyone possible

if there's no mistake,
"input" is for numbers,

in windows 7 64 bit, to use this exact same feature,
you go to the start button ("orb"), and in the
"search programs and files" box type "disk management"
(without quotes) and then left click
"create and format hard disk partitions".
then you can lucidly do all that xp related stuff.

the "no-drivers" choice, No. 4, is provided because some
programs, such as PLoP, will not load at all unless there
are *no drivers* loaded, at least on my system...
PLoP chokes on any drivers in freedos 1.1, saying:
"cannot run under windows in a dos box", in effect.
i kid you not.
if the hardware chokes on real programming,
someone will make an emulator.
good!

the freedos 1.1 test_3 .iso cd, installed first on a wiped hard drive,

then format the disk using t

yes, and also from the command line: just use "devload" from the distribution.
"help devload" for more info. (devload is on the full dist.)
