"5) DOS installation
a) Pkunzip it
b) If you are running Windows-95, do "shutdown and restart in msdos mode".
You have to be in really-DOS mode. Not a DOS session under Windows-95.
c) CD to the directory you pkunzipped it into.
d) "install".
(This boots a GNU/Linux with prompts to make the diskette.) This is for
installing tomsrtbt from a DOS/Windows system. If you have problems, boot
with no config.sys or autoexec.bat. Note, this creates the *exact same
floppy* as the GNU/Linux installer."
Sorry ... but this really IS a "RTFM" situation. The formatting is handled
for you.
