[CQ-Contest] [Trlog] Adding MS-DOS to a WindowsXP Computer

[Martin Kratoska]

Wow, what a server! Downloading of the fdinst095 took painful 2 hours! 
Therefore I decided to host all the files on my server with good 
connectivity.

Many thanks to Mark, KD4D, for excellent FreeDOS image. Really new 
breath to DOS machines.

Enjoy!

> I have updated my procedure and bootable CD for installing

> I use this capability to run Amateur Radio contest logging

> I did the updated procedure and cd because the free tools to

> to hopefully make it easier to read and follow.

> There is a FREE CD which contains everything you need to install

> Add DOS to preinstalled Windows (see left side)

> The PDF file of the updated procedure is also available there or

> (Thanks to Johnson Lam for providing the server space for this).
> The CDROM image is about 30 MiBytes.  The procedure is less
> than 1 MiByte.
> 
> I would appreciate feedback from anyone who uses the procedure
> so that I can improve it.  All of my computers boot both WindowsXP

> you a bit longer the first time.
