fdb7h1cd.zip contains fdosb7h1.iso

This is an ISO image of a bootable FreeDOS Beta7 H01 CD-ROM
Once fdb7h1cd.zip is unzipped, most CD Writing programs should
be able to burn it to a CDR/CDRW and most machines that can boot
from CD-ROM should be able to boot from it.

It provides a menu allowing one to boot the MINI boot disk,
FULL boot disk, or a generic boot disk that one can use to
run FreeDOS from the CD.

This CD-ROM can also be useful for those without the ability to
boot CD-ROMs, as it includes a complete FreeDOS beta7 h1 install
in \FDOS and for installation purposes, all the installation
disksets are available in \DISKSETS.

The 1st two options (Install FULL or Install MINI) should be fairly
stable, however there still may be some odd behavior when trying to run
FreeDOS from CD-ROM.  As such, these, especially option 3 (Run From CD),
should be considered experimental at this time.  Many commands will work
fine, but a few might lock up your machine requiring a reset.
Some have reported changing eltorito.sys to the CD-ROM's OEM driver
and/or replacing shsucdex.exe with mscdex.exe produce more stable
results.  Note: Please don't ask for a CD-ROM image with either of
these, as neither are available for me to redistribute legally as
far as I know.  A future ISO image will also include a boot disk with
a generic ATAPI CD driver, however the driver is not yet available.


Errata:
None at this time.
