For W98, here is the initial portion of my MSDOS.SYS file.  Note
the values for BootGUI and logo. Some comment lines will have
wrapped.



[Paths]
WinDir=C:\WINDOWS
WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS
HostWinBootDrv=C

[Options]
BootMulti=0
; BootGUI=1 to auto start windows
BootGUI=0
DoubleBuffer=1
AutoScan=1
WinVer=4.10.1998
; logo=1 to hide the boot up screen during winboot
logo=0
;
;The following lines are required for compatibility with other
programs.
;Do not remove them (MSDOS.SYS needs to be >1024 bytes).
..... stuff goes here .....



And the following is an edited extract from my autoexec.bat, to
avoid the automatic transition into windows and let me select a
plain DOS environment.  I virtually never need to.  The breakup of
the path into useful section aids in keeping the length down, and
makes revision easy.



set basepath=c:\windows;c:\windows\command

Rem DJGPP system
set djgppath=c:\djgpp\bin
set djgpp=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

SET PATH=%djgppath%;%BASEPATH%

Rem 4dos
alias /r c:\util\ini\alias.lst

set TZ=EST5EDT
set arj_sw=-s2
set locate=/r
break on

:winboot
@choice /t:y,10 Boot Windows?
@if errorlevel 2 goto end

win
mode co80

:end
