Hello,

  I know about this solutions, but.. they need additional work and
  interaction with end users. I need clear solution for DOS, dumb and
  acceptable for most users. They need understandable solution like
  'run dosboot.exe c:\bin\kernel', I'll just provide kernels for them
  (maybe from shared disk).


Sincerely yours, Andy
