You'll probably have to disable DOS's (or whoever's) memory manager in order to run the `fbsdboot.exe' program. This is not a problem. Just press Shift-F5 while DOS is booting (be quick with the keys, though). If you're using Win95, run `fbsdboot', and Win95 will tell you that `fbsdboot' must be run in DOS-mode. You have to tweak the shortcut it creates not to load emm386.sys (or something like that) (right-mouse button click on the shortcut to configure it). -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
