After I wrote about MS-DOS,I didn't think I'd be writing anything new about DOS,but I found the cooest thing! FreeDOS! It's an awesome OS! It's really similar 2 MS-DOS,but comes with loads of features! The website is http://www.freedos.org/
They have different distibutions,but this is what I use. http://odin.fdos.org/odin2005/odin1440.img
You probably wonder what 2 do with an IMG file.That was my problem,but I found this! http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm
After you have a distribution on a floppy,you can run it by booting from the floppy.Remember though that if you want 2 play games,you'll most likely need a FAT partition! I am using my G partition,but when I load FreeDOS it is C instead! The site has tools 4 partitioning even though I haven't used them.
So you may wonder why I went through all that trouble! Because of this! http://www.geocities.com/chandlerklebs/Mario.zip That game is crap on ANY version of Windows!
