Possibly. Grub inherited the "standard Linux bootloader" crown

I'm pretty sure that keyb can do that, but I'm still reading

XOSL is very good, has a very nice GUI... the only problem is, that it
must have a FAT16/32 partition, BUT...
after some years I decided to create an extra small partition for boot
managers. It is saver ;-)

You can do this with any sufficiently-capable boot manager. I used to
use V Communications' "System Commander", once upon a time. Don't
know if it's still available. Used to be fairly cheap: about $40
(US). There are probably lots of other commercial utilities you can
find at a Best Buy or simi

Hi someone, Grant,
there is no need to use separate partitions or even
harddisks for Win9x/Me and FreeDOS. The trick is that
both use FAT and both use the same drive letters, but
Win9x/Me and FreeDOS use different file names for
kernel and config. FreeDOS looks at fdconfig dot sys
first, and only

Real mode msdos was discontinued in WinMe/NT/2k/XP. The problm I had when
installing freedos on an existing win partition is that it had tendancy

There aren't any .ed files -- not that I can find, anyway.

For freemacs/emacs, set the EMACS environment variable to point to
where emacs .ed files are installed. For example:
SET EMACS=C:\FDOS\EMACS
It's possible this didn't get set for you.
Alternatively, try doing a CD into the directory where emacs is
installed, and see if it runs (it should).
