My 486 laptop has no floppy drive or CD-ROM drive. Can I install FreeDOS?
I downloaded fdbootcd.iso from the official FreeDOS website, unpacked it with WinRAR, transferred it to my laptop, and ran the installer file install.exe. The installation process isn't very user-friendly. Before long it keeps asking me y/n y/n, which leaves me totally confused. To be honest, it's no easier than installing FreeBSD for the first time. My machine can't boot from a floppy drive, and I'm afraid of messing up the system and being unable to fix it, so I hope to succeed in one go. Moderator, please point me in the right direction!! |

FreeDOS can easily mess up a system -- honestly speaking
MSDOS 7.1 isn't much better either -- from personal experience Honestly, just transfer the system files yourself. Several of the installers have problems... It's also best not to use gdisk or free fdisk too much; their compatibility isn't good. I recommend using WinMe's Fdisk. |
