Well, I had run the test without LFN, caching... It did not freeze or lockup. There were multiple issues and about 2500 errors (total). Containing -2,-3,-4 and -9. After adding DOSLFN, there were chkdsk errors and it locked up at sone point. However, with the system lockups caused by the previous version. There may have been file system damage. While rebuilding the vm, I broke some stuff. Thought I fixed it. But, now Fdinst is exiting with an errorlevel but no error messages. I ran out of time. So, results are not conclusive. I don't know when I will be able to get back to it. >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK >> Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK. >> Use one codebase in this all-in-one HTML5 development environment. >> Design, debug & build mobile apps & 2D/3D high-impact games for multiple OSs. >> http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=254741911&iu=/4140 >> _______________________________________________ >> Freedos-devel mailing list >> Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK > Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK. > Use one codebase in this all-in-one HTML5 development environment. > Design, debug & build mobile apps & 2D/3D high-impact games for multiple OSs. > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=254741911&iu=/4140 > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
