i have a dell optiplex gx280.
first i found it doesn't support 2 floppys, only 1. fine.
now, however, 1.44 mb diskettes format fine with ms-dos 6.22,
but freedos trying to format them says:

i, for one, would like to see a freedos ftp site
where 1) only the latest version of everything is posted
and 2) where the whole thing could be downloaded as one file.
let's face it,
the freedos project suffers from
substantial fragmentation, and substantial disorganization.

is there a place you can download all of freedos in one big piece,

it would surely be convenient.

when everything is updated to current version

will someone write the list and say so,

i'm talking about the 300+ mb .iso cd image download.
is it done already?
intel undi pxe is the preload execution environment (p.x.e.)
that allows your computer to boot off ethernet network:
a network boot.
undi is searchable on google and a careful
search engine study reveals it to have
something to do with network boot:

it is my sincere belief that everyone possible
should file a feature request/bug report with
the virtualbox people so UIDE works without the
two-minute analogy delay upon v.m. boot,
including those who know why and how UIDE is
delayed.
if we do this sincerely then they probably will

if there's no mistake,
input is for numbers,

you'll need to check the book to see what's the input acceptor for alphabetic

in windows 7 64 bit, to use this exact same feature,
you go to the start button (orb), and in the
search programs and files box type disk management
(without quotes) and then left click
create and format hard disk partitions.
then you can lucidly do all that xp related stuff.
if the hardware chokes on real programming,
someone will make an emulator.
good!

the no-drivers choice, No. 4, is provided because some
programs, such as PLoP, will not load at all unless there
are *no drivers* loaded, at least on my system...
PLoP chokes on any drivers in freedos 1.1, saying:
cannot run under windows in a dos box, in effect.
i kid you not.

the freedos 1.1 test_3 .iso cd, installed first on a wiped hard drive,
supports (is compatible with) windows xp's auto-installed multiboot manager...
why not mount freedos *and* windows xp, installed both with the fat32 option,
and then just use your tools for xp on xp,
shuffling files back and
get a copy of darik's boot and nuke and erase the hard disk,
single pass, no verification.
when loading the cd, use only the xms option, NO EMM386!
then xfdisk the disk using the default choices, except when it comes to
write the partition table, then choose yes.
then format the disk using
also, not to overstate the obvious, you could burn a cd-rw and boot from that.
if anything messes up, you could just re-write the cd-rw.
and,
the enterprise version of windows 7 has a windows-xp-compatibility mode.
yes, and also from the command line: just use devload from the distribution.
help devload for more info. (devload is on the full dist.)
locate devload finds it on the full install set up by the full dist. .
