Hello Everyone

     I have just joined this e-Mail list because I can't find any support
for DR DOS any place else.

     Lineo certainly isn't giving any support, or even an
directions on where to find support.

     I am working on restoring an old computer I call my "Floppy Machine."
 It has 5 floppy drives and uses a Micro Solutions
CompatiCard for the second floppy controller.

     The SCSI hard drive is configured as follows.

     Master Boot Record                 GAG - Boot Manager

Drive C:
     First Primary Partition   125MB's  FreeDOS
     Second Primary partition  125MB's  IBM's PC DOS
     Third Primary Partition   125MB's  MicroSoft's  MS DOS

     Extended Partition
Drive D:  (at the moment -  anyone know how to make it C: ?)
     First Logical Partition   125MB's  for DR DOS
Drive E:
     Second Logical Partition  125MB's  to share data between Dos's Drive
F:
     Third Logical Partition   375MB's  For OS/2 if I can't find
                                        anything else to manage
                                        assigning the drive letter
                                        C: to the proper partition.

     From all my reading of e-Mail lists, I have been lead
to believe that DR DOS can be installed to the Drive D: in
my setup above.

     Is that so?

     And, if it is, where do I find info telling me how
to do it?

     thanks
