  • Installing #FreeDOS onto old Dell Pentium 3 before it goes out for the hard rubbish so the local scavengers can use it #
  • With SysLinux and Memdisk I can PXE netboot install FreeDOS from ISO image. Fortunate really as there's no CD or floppy! #
  • FreeDOS install flawless right up to the point where PC resets and then doesn't boot. Left as an exercise for the finder. #
