![]() ![]() To get around the issues of only having the upgrade disks from technet do the following:īoot from the first disk and keep pressing F8, select no to everything and get a DOS prompt. ![]() (grumble grumble) Thanks again gentlemen. I guess I will have to find out for myself how well it works (or not), once I dig up some DOS boot disks. I'm currently running several flavors of *nix under Hyper-V that are not officially supported some with greater success than others. I understand that "supported" and actually working (or even working with limited functionality) are different things. But like I said, this is probably the wrong forum to raise that complaint. I am completely devoid of a reason they put an UPGRADE version in their TechNet download area, and not a standard version. My observation was simply that Microsoft ONLY offers MS DOS 6.22 in an UPGRADE version, which needlessly complicates getting it going on a test machine (virtual or not). Unfortunately, MS-DOS is still required for some applications that just won't die and testing IS a required part of supporting those apps. There's an entire list of OS's there that fall into this category. ![]() TechNet obviously offers MS DOS 6.22 for subscribers to use, even though they have long since stopped supporting it. I realize this is a Hyper-V forum and not MSDN, so my first question might not apply here. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. ![]()
