Greetings, friends! The release candidate announcement encouraged people to try FreeDOS out and report any problems, so here I am to say that I successfully booted and installed 1.2-RC1 in a generation-1 Hyper-V 2012 R2 virtual machine using the ISO image. I pretty much took the defaults for everything except RAM, which I set to 32 MB (the minimum allowed by Hyper-V), and storage, which I set to 40 GB. The installation took a long time---several hours, although I didn't measure it carefully. Post-installation, it seemed to run slowly, e.g., a directory listing of the FreeDOS "bin" directory took a minute or so to display anything. I'd be happy to do a little debugging if someone would point me in the right direction.
