FreeDOS Ripcord Beta07h03 English Distribution

Installation Instructions:

Before beginning installation (or downloading) you should read the install guide - install.txt.

What is available:

These distributions are primarily distributed for 1.44MB 3.5 inch floppies. The MINI and FULL versions now use the same install boot disk. Additionally, the contents of the boot floppies are available in the instdisk/BOOTDISK/ directory.

Grab the Files:

Important: When downloading files you should use your browsers Save As method, otherwise the downloaded files (especially the disk images) may be corrupt. [ For most browsers, this means instead of double clicking on the files, right click and choose "Save As..." (or "Save Target As...").]

To aid those who have problems with the binary images, the binary image and its associated CRC file are also available in zipped formats (same name as image file + .zip). The zipped versions are smaller and thus also useful to reduce download size/time, but they must be unzipped and then written to floppy instead of just written to floppy.
