I boot >from a DOS 4.01 floppy(I know, a kludge) and it works great. well, with the ms-dos 5.0 himem.sys, you CAN tell it not to eat all extended memory by specifying /int15=xxxx where xxxx is the amount of extended memory (in kb) to leave for int15 access (what mathematica uses). also, you'll notice that mathematica will run in ems, so you can run emm386 on top of himem.sys and use mathematica that way. only problem with that is that real mode programs (like djgpp) will crap out with emm386.
