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.
