Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDos1.44Boot Floppy
Hi Garry, A while back someone asked about getting a ISO image, or a floopy bootdisk 1.44mb Did somebody suggest http://sites.google.com/site/rugxulo/ already? It is from 1 year ago and available as 1-3 floppy bootdisks of 1.44mb each. You can also download a combined 2.88mb boot image based on the first two floppies :-). I took the liberty to make these images, hope it is ok,.. Of course :-) they worked fine on my computer, and also when I downloaded them and useing POWERISO ver.3.7 http://www.poweriso.com copied to a floppy , still boot fine. I did not try burning these to CD,...there are 2 disks, one has a few utilitys, such as edit, keyb,..the other is just a boot disk, thats all it dose is boot, one could build a batch file, etc, with it...as it dose have the basic, command.com kernel and sys. Sounds interesting. I would be interested in know how they work on any other computers, but also am not responsible for anything. So any way if anyone can As long as you are interested in improving them :-p use these,they are welcome to get them. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15387474/FreeDosBootWithutilities.daa http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15387474/FreeDosBoot.daa I assume DAA only works with Poweriso? How about 1:1 raw floppy images or simple ISO files for the CD case? I also have the same, in a .bif form, but did not post the link, also drop box, as in this form they still have to be converted to a image,.. Any way hope someone finds these useful, and like I said, I would really like to know how they work on others computers, or don't, if they don't. My computer is IBM, I made the disks simply useing the /s in the format, then I added the edit and a few other files, You get more flexibility using SYS after format. to the one. So I don't know ,they might not boot on other machines.. That would probably depend on drivers, but most DOS things are generic. I am curious about this. Thats all for now, from Garry Thanks!

[Freedos-user] Emulating FreeDOS
Hi! Please if you find this topic too Offtopic, please tell me, I won't insist. Have you tried Qemu? I have been using it without problems before I tried to configure the network. - Network Basically, Qemu have two options (RTL8139 and NE2000 ISA). Do you use any of those under Qemu? RTL8139 works fines under other OS, however the DOS packet drivers hangs the system. In the other hand, the NE2000 (ne2k_isa) packet driver, I can even use DHCP, but I can't ping or try to connect to anything. RTL8139: qemu -hda freedos.img -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user NE2000: qemu -hda freedos.img -net nic,model=ne2k_isa -net user -M isapc Do use FreeDOS networking under qemu? - DOS Idling Under MS-DOS a idler is needed to avoid the guest DOS use many cycles in the host PC.

Re: [Freedos-user] Emulating FreeDOS
Hi Bcpino, - DOS Idling Under MS-DOS a idler is needed to avoid the guest DOS use many cycles in the host PC. Do FreeDOS have the same problem and needs dosidle. Ironically, at some point you had to avoid using idlers such as fdapm apmdos in Bochs, because it tried to be too smart ;-) To be exact, when you did HLT to reduce CPU load, Bochs simply was happy to be able to simulate faster, so some games etc went too fast while you had idling drivers active. However, I think most virtual computers, including Dosemu, now save host CPU load if you use idling drivers inside DOS, so I would generally recommend them. The FreeDOS kernel even has a (minimalistic / simple) built-in idling function which you can activate via fdconfig.sys or config.sys - it needs no extra RAM. The command for that is IDLEHALT=1 Possible values: 0, 1, 2, 3 for none, normal, Windows-silent, Windows-visible where the two last values refer to the int 2f.1680 release time slice call. This may change in the future. Still, 0 is none, more is more. Other fun FreeDOS config.sys extensions are VERSION=xx.x and ANYDOS=1, SCREEN=xx (for example 0x12 for 8x8 font, 50 lines) Those and more are explained in the config.txt file :-) Regards, Eric -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

Quoting cordat...@aol.com: With all the discussion on mTCP it seems this package is getting a lot of attention. Is there any update as to when we might be able to get source or even just a binary library? Short story - working on it. Longer story .. it's all my original code and I have copyright to it. However, the large corporation that pays me insists on approving any open source contributions. (Which is reasonable.) So you can imagine the look on people's faces when I said I want to start a new open source project, for DOS. I seriously don't think they know what to do. :-) A binary library is possible and I originally started down that path, but it makes more sense to just have people include the original source code and directly compile and link in everything they need. Otherwise they wind up dealing with whatever compromises were compiled into the library. It is all evolving as I learn ..

[Freedos-user] Full Networked FreeDOS image for VirtualBox
Hi list! I have built a special FreeDOS 1.0 image for Virtualbox: Networking should be much easier with this image. The appropriate packet driver for Virtualbox is already loaded at boot. So file exchange between host and client over the network shouldn't be a problem any more. The image and an installation walkthrough can be found at: http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox Please feel free to download and play with it! It would be great to get some feedback. Please send improvements. IMHO the memory management could be better, especially with MS Client loaded. Thanks!
