Dunno, I don't recall this problem for me, but it's been a while.
Again, you don't need JEMMEX at all, usually only XMS (e.g. HIMEMX).

I'm not downloading it again, but my local copy is this (md5sum):

2e0ab23bec79ff33071d80ea26f124dc  fd11src.iso

Oh, now I see that the download on iBiblio also has this:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/fd11src.md5

... which says this:

2e0ab23bec79ff33071d80ea26f124dc  fd11src.iso

Outside of the installer itself, DOS should let you step through (F8)
CONFIG.SYS et al.
