77541	2002-09-09 07:46:00	i just downloaded the cd .iso for freedos and installed. It seems alright, though I haven't done any intensive work on it yet... the free GUI "SEAL" was included in the iso. it looks quite nice. only problem is that there isn't a lot to do with it... the biggest problem I find is trying to get useful apps that run on alternative OS's. I'm sure that they ARE out there, but they are sure hard to find sometimes!	loser (538)

When I installed it (~6 months ago) the current release had a bug that would trash drives that had a partition < 128mb . I got a copy of the fixed kernel, but I forgot to reboot before starting the installer . . . oops . I didn't keep FreeDOS because it didn't leave as much free memory as MS and PC-DOS, but I still use a few of the other FreeDOS programmes .	bmason (508)
