Where can I learn the basics of DOS? I have tried local collages in UK but no-one seems to be able to help me, every one seems to think that DOS is common knowledge; I hope to study A+ certification where I believe I will need to understand DOS ie. How do you use the dos edit mode to edit config sys, auto exe.bat etc.
Many thanks
A.J.

DOS for Dummies is not a bad start. Actually working with DOS commands is an excellent way to practice the skills. Fortunately most of the esoteric commands we used to have to know for autoexec.bat and config.sys are now seldom used (environmentcommand, boot disk creation, etc...). Learning the basics of DOS for technician usage is a lot easier than when DOS was Boss! *;-)
