Hi Thomas,
indeed A: and B: are reserved for floppy drives. The rest is for partitions found at boot and after that, drives accessed by drivers can be added. So if you do not see the USB stick after booting from harddisk, it probably just means that the USB driver does not work. As said, it can help to boot from USB to get BIOS-assisted USB stick access. If I understand the mails correctly, not finding packages during install is caused by unsuccesfully switching from BIOS-assisted to DOS-only CD/DVD drivers at some point, so I am looking forward to Jerome's next update with a tuned driver strategy. FDISK would not help with that. I agree that there should be documentation about how the install process works which can help you to push it a bit when it gets stuck at some point. Of course the documents should be available online, also outside the install disk. > I could even take a photo from the screen instructions... It is probably better to just look at the steps in a browser on another PC or in the smartphone instead of having to use a photo of the instructions. You are of course right that creating a dual boot system is tricky. In particular, it is not something the FreeDOS installer can do for you. So depending on how much you want it, we could write some howto about how to create a dual boot system with Linux (or Windows) or even a triple boot, using tools for Linux or Windows. DOS tools are not enough to do dual boot with anything without the help of the Linux or Windows system itself. So you have to use their tools. Keep me posted about your USB driver adventures :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
