RE: Install - boot question

Paul,

I installed DF on my WinXP box at work.  I didn't do anything fancy and have
a similar setup (Hidden Dell, WinXP, DragonFly).  I installed the DF boot
loader and boot blocks.  When it first boots, I get the following menu:

F1	DOS
F2	DOS
F3	BSD

F1 takes me to the Dell stuff. F2 is really XP, and well, I think you can
figure out where F3 takes me.

Good luck,

Adrian
