Then you should try www.japheth.de JEMM386 and maybe some manual tuning for the options. Try for example X=e000-efff X=test and maybe some options which are recommended in the JEMM386 readme. > MORE$driver by Eric Auer 2003 loaded. Use: ... > MORE$ > Kernel: allocated 41 Diskbuffers = 21812 Bytes in HMA > The program then hangs indefinitely That is very interesting. It means that the hang happens at the very moment when the kernel starts to use the HMA. It probably means that your A20 control is causing troubles. Try some of the /METHOD:... options for HIMEM, see HIMEM /?. You can also make option 4, no drivers, work by adding a (fd)config sys line "4?ECHO no drivers". You can also skip loading drivers by pressing F8 when DOS boots, it will then ask you for each driver whether you want to load it. > FreeDOS on option 3, I can run most programs > that came in the package, however, > every single CD-bound DOS install-app I > have tried to run also hangs indefinitely. Then try to update SHSUCDX: www.geocities.com/jadoxa/shsucdx/ The version on our CDROM has the bug that the 8086 compatible SHSUCDX can crash when the drive is not ready / no disk in drive. > On a probably related note, I > can get the FreeDOS installation to complete, but [...] only > completes if I don't install the network driver(s) Interesting. I personally think that there should be an easy way to select "install everything which does not need USB or network during or after install". Would also make the install a lot faster, and one can still add network related stuff later. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
