Boot disk

I wish to create a boot disk so my son can start his
computer up using A:\ and play some old DOS games...they
do not play well under the MSDOS prompt in windows...what
files do I need...is there a site I can go to and download
this file...I know I need a config.sys file and autoexec
bat file that will load the CD rom drive for his dos games
but I do not know what lines to put in the autoexec.bat
file to make this work?

I would say go to http://www.bootdisk.com and look for one there. Mainly
you'll need a DOS disk with CD-ROM support (if the game is on CD). You
could get boot98SE.exe and take off the FDISK and Format commands when it's
installed.

How you do it, is download the file to your hard drive. Put a blank floppy
in the drive, and run the file. It will install itself to the floppy.
