Yes; yes

Well, I am using the latest versions of everything I believe, and it's
a fresh installation.
I have noticed some file name shenanigans between Linux and Freedos:
the machine is dual book (triple even) and I unzipped a file from
Linux onto the Freedos FAT32 disk (not the DJGPP stuff), and then I
could not delete those files from Freedos. Everything worked fine, I
could copy the files on the disk, but not delete them in Freedos, only
in Linux.
Presumably it is the LFN stuff that looks slightly different depending
on angle and ambient light.

They are there. That was the point of the cd in the bit i quoted.

Right.
It says DPMI 123399 Kb, swap 129849 Kb
So what does that mean? mem says total memory 2,096,000K
