a couple things...

first, a slight amendment could be made in the FAQ, with the section that
has to do with multi-configurations on bootup.  you may want to mention
something about the INSTALL and CHAIN command combinations which will let
you create your own config-generating program to run in config.sys.  it
gives you a LOT more freedom than ms-dos's multiconfig system (well, as
long as you know how to do some simple programming :) ).

secondly, i've been moderately successful in converting a few of my
friends to opendos.  one of them has a slight problem though.  she has an
atapi triton cd-rom, and the cd-rom driver (TRICD.SYS i believe) refuses
to load in config.sys.  she said it loads fine in ms-dos and pc-dos, but
not in opendos.  any thoughts?
