Hi Ray, Bernd, >> How was the bootdisk created? > The included bat.
The kernel download only includes the KERNEL itself and the "installer" tool SYS. It does not include a SHELL, so if you run SYS (or run the bat which runs sys) then it will copy whatever version of command.com you already have and add that to your boot floppy ;-). You can get FreeCOM command.com as a separate download here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109&package_id=9826 (version 0.82pl3, please use the xmsswap version and load himem!) You can get a somewhat less stable version 0.84pre2 here: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/fdupdate/ (sometimes stops running apps, might be related to UMB use) The newer version has more support for long file names :-) You will have to load DOSLFN if you want to use those: www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/ You can get HIMEMX, a more modern HIMEM variant, here: http://japheth.de/Jemm.html Eric PS: Jeremy once had pre-made boot disk images on fdos.org, maybe he can update those to contain the new kernels :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
