You know I already said I like FREE.  If you wat to install DOS in VMware and do not have any DOS disks, consider FREEDOS.

"FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project."

Basically, they use a linux/unix style kernal (non graphical) and create a dos! Fantastic!

They even have a video of how to install FREEDOS in VMWare tight on the Freedos webpage.

I installed under VMWare server 1.08 and it works.with one issue.

Only issue: If I launch it with EM386 support then it bugs out. But without that it works.

You can find FREEDOS at http://Freedos.org
