I got no response on the freedos news group and I posted one message to the user list and didn't get a response. Way back in the day when linux was hard to install I got flamed pretty bad, I'm still gun shy about posting. LOL. My problem was I forgot to mark the partition as active. Now its installed but boots to a blank screen. I tried to install linux. I got Puppy to boot. I installed it just fine, the difference I "think" is that grub was installed as a boot loader. I'm going to start over tonight and use a bootloader with FreeDos and see. I'm getting it, its a good thing I'm stubborn. LOL Till then I will use QEMU. which is ok for poking through code, but prob not a great place to build a xwindows ish desktop for dos. ~theMouse
