I'm back. In 2007, I spent a few months without a proper computer and had to fall back on my mom's old PC. I dual-booted Ubuntu with XP, got sick of XP, deleted it and thus had a partition left over. I figured I'd give FreeDOS a shot.
I hate FreeDOS. I tried 5 times, didn't get one clean installation. And I have tried everything. |

My sentiment exactly. Got Freedos with the drivers for my computer, but never could really get anything working. Never could really install it at all!

With freedos I couldnt even get the sound to work so I said enough of this. Dosbox is heck of alot better than freedos.

With my older machine I had a DOS 6.22 partition, while Windows 98 in the main partition. Some games worked in 6.22 and not so "rebooting in DOS mode" with Win98 (i.e. DOS 7.1). For example Star Control II, Crusader: No Remorse, Fields of Glory, Lords of the Realm, Syndicate, and many more. So I'd choose 6.22, it was designed with compatibility in mind and 7.1 wasn't. No idea about FreeDOS, but I'd still bet that 6.22 is the most compatible with games designed for DOS 6 and lower.

I'll be experimenting with both 6.22 and 7.1 using multi-boot, shortly.

I'm going to dual boot FreeDOS and Win98, both installed on a 500meg drive and then the games will be plunked on a second hard drive. Sounds like a plan.

It's 6.22 all the way guys. If you have Win98 you have DOS 7 as part of it. I don't know FreeDOS though.

Buddy, this thread has pretty much finished a year ago.
Please don't raise the dead.

There's also DRDOS but I suggest you to use the original MS' MS-DOS v6.22.
