Default config.sys

What is wrong when there is nothing in my config.sys file.

I go to start then run then type sysedit and there is
nothing in the config.sys file. What now?

There is nothing wrong....you don't need anything in config.sys to start Windows.
Entries are only needed if a particular program requires them, and they will add
them automatically when installed. generally, it is there for compatibility with
older programs that used the file.
