+ For boot the minimum number of files. On PC DOS there is some hidden
+ files and command.com<br>
+ With a minimum number of files you can still have room for a backup
+ of the MBR. With a win 95 boot that should be possible also.<br>
+ It gets too big with a win98 boot. Ideally you would have a
+ partition with freedos and a boot disk in case the MBR gets whacked.<br>
+ Your freedos partition needs to be less 2G or smaller.<br>
+ <br>
+ On my computer I first partitioned the disk with fdisk with a SuSE
+ boot CD. I then installed free dos<br>
