I used to keep a MS-DOG boot floppy around in case I had to run, say, WDCLEAR on my hard disk, or PartitionMagic. With FreeDOS, I no longer have to do that; I can simply use FreeDOS on my "emergency rescue CD-ROMs" with all my still-handy DOS utilities. Same for upgrading motherboard BIOS's. Ever try to upgrade your BIOS from within Windows XP?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-D This matters, as I just recently had to do this with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe to fix a DRAM issue. For those of us who have gotten into computing since 2001, and thus don't have an old copy of even Windows 9x around, this can become an issue.
Mr. Hall, and all those who worked with him on this project, is to be thanked in a very major way.
