Examples
A typical
CONFIG.SYS
file might look like this:
DEVICE = RAMDISK.SYS 64
BREAK = ON
FILES = 15
BUFFERS = 15
Using Multiple Configurations
Your CONFIG.SYS file can be used to define multiple system
configurations. This is handy when several people share a computer
and require a different working environment. It is also useful for
booting your own computer using different device drivers, paths, or
settings depending on the intended computer tasks.
To define multiple configurations within the CONFIG.SYS file, you first
have to define a startup menu. Each menu item represents a different
system configuration option. Then, for each item on the menu, a
configuration block is defined. Each configuration block contains the
specific commands to be implemented as the system completes its
bootup.
Configuration Blocks
The menu item definition and all configuration blocks are marked with a
block header. A block header is a descriptive label enclosed in square
brackets ([]). The start of the menu items must be marked with the
block header [MENU]. Each configuration block may have a unique
label of your choice. This label can be up to 70 characters long and
can contain most printable characters, including spaces, backslashes
(\), forward slashes (/), commas(,), semicolons (;), and equal signs(=).
Square brackets ([]) cannot be used in block names.
