FreeDos 1.3 RC5: Installation crashes halfway on IBM Thinkpad T40
On an IBM Thinkpad T40, the installation abends and the system reboots on 60% in the installation. The package shown to be installed is "games/freecom" or similar (it was only visible for a split second before the system rebooted).
What I did:
- Manual FDISK with a 20GB partition, manually set it to "active"
- Let the system format the disk and install
The disk is a Hitachi Travelstar with 40GB total capacity.
Edit: I tried a 2nd time, and let FreeDOS partition the drive. This time it crashed after 56% on "games/boom"
Edit 2: 3rd attempt was successful. This time I did not ask to install a new MBR. Since this happens at the very end of the installation, I doubt that this is more than a coincidence, though.
