Mini-HOWTO

Mini-HOWTO Documents

These Mini HOWTO documents are not part of the official FD-DOC project, and so they do not need to follow the same format as the other FD-DOC documents. The FreeDOS Documentation Project (FD-DOC) aims to produce high-quality documentation for all aspects of FreeDOS. These Mini HOWTOs were included because they did not seem appropriate for a full HOWTO document:

Mini HOWTO documents currently are:
