[Trlog] Trying to install DOS...

[paul at paul-hicks.ca]

EUREKA!

DOS is installed and coexists nicely with Windows XP.

TR-Log is installed and it works like old cheese. Next step is to 
interface the radio to the box tomorrow. It's been about 6 years 
since I've done a contest, so I've forgotten a lot.

Thanks for the help, it's appreciated very much. I doubt I would have 
got DOS installed and TRLog running without the suggestions and links.

73, Paul.

Please don't respond to this post. I figured it out.

"gag" should be all CAPS

I'm up to the point of installing DOS 7.1 Hopefully, it's on that
fargin' Linux CD or I'm dead.

Gotta get a floppy tomorrow. Fun and games, I love this stuff, having
a great time...

I got the CD made properly, and did the partition, formatted to fat32.

Rebooted, typed "gag"

Message, "could not find kernel image: gag"

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Paul.
