Make a Freesco floppy, boot into it, log in to a console, type move2hdd and then reboot. This will create a ROUTER directory on C:\, along with a file ROUTER.BAT. When run from DOS, this will run Freesco. Renaming this file to AUTOEXEC.BAT or including the line: CALL ROUTER.BAT inside AUTOEXEC.BAT will make Freesco boot up from the hard disk every time you boot the machine. PLEASE NOTE: Only IDE drives are supported under Freesco (no SCSI support is planned). Larger IDE drives may also cause problems with Freesco.
