     Modify this line in msdos.sys (path is "c:\msdos.sys", where "c:\" is the
primary partition):
                        BootGUI=1
                with
                        BootGUI=0

        That's all!

        If you want an extra boot menu, read this (don't forget to modify
"msdos.sys"):

Autoexec.bat:
==============================================
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
path=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;c:\diverse;c:\dn;c:\cd;c:\qpv;
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T2
set TEMP=C:\TEMP
c:\sound\mix-set /q /fm:0,0
goto %config%

:DN
c:\mouse\mouse.com
c:\cd\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:
dn
goto end

:CD
c:\mouse\mouse.com
c:\cd\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:
c:\cd\qcd
dn
goto end

:WIN
win
goto end

:END
