What is a Configuration File?
The configuration file config.sys is a file that contains certain com
mands, which ms-dos checks at startup. Each time you start ms-dos,
it searches the root directory of the drive in which it was started
for a file named config.sys.
The config.sys file allows you to configure your system with a
minimum of effort. For example, you can add device drivers to
your system by including special commands in your configsys
file.
If your MS-DOS disk does not have a configsys file, you can use the
ms-dos line editor, edlin, to create one and then save it on the
ms-dos disk in your root directory. If configsys already exists and
you want to change it, you can use edlin to edit it.
