[Freedos-user] FreeDOS beta9 release candidate 5.
Thanks for creating FreeDos! Q1: Is the fdos1440.img the only thing I need to install FD, or is it just the boot disk? I got as far as partitioning the C: drive then at the cd-rom install error screen I hit option 2 to install from diskettes and it gave me Drive is FAT12. Bad command or file name - disk2.bat Bad command or file name - ERRORLEVELS (etc ) I checked fdisk again and it confirmed that it was a FAT32. Heres my system info if its any help.

[Freedos-user] ODIN 0.70
Hi I finally got round to getting FreeDOS - ODIN 0.70 onto a floppy ready to install. Then I got the... Edit config.sys & autoexec.bat files so that they contain your specific settings then delete file fdconfig.sys ...message. I managed to open them both in FreeDOS Edit, but I don't know what to edit and what to replace it with. Are there any docs to help me on this subject? Thanks.

[Freedos-user] Re: ODIN 0.70
Hei Gregory, Would it be possible for you to send me your copies of autoexec.bat and config.sys. Maybe you could paste them onto this thread. Thanks, Leke.

[Freedos-user] Linux on FreeDos or vice versa?
Is it possible to install Linux on FreeDos or vice versa? More importantly could I do it on my machine? COMPAQ LTE Lite 4/25C PROCESSOR TYPE: 80486 PROCESSOR SPEED: 25 mhz COPROCESSOR TYPE: 80487 BUS TYPE: ISA BUS SPEED: 25 mhz MEMORY INFORMATION >>> BASE MEMORY: 640k EXTENDED MEMORY: 11520k EXPANDED MEMORY: 0k VIDEO INFORMATION >>> VIDEO BIOS: IBM VIDEO MEMORY: 256k VIDEO MAXIMUM MODE: VGA Adapter DISPLAY: Color Analog If it is possible to do both ways. Which would be easier? I checked out some minimalist distro listings, here's one example... GNU Brutalware Linux Website: http://hysteria.sk/brutalware/ Category: Minimalist Description: Floppy-based Linux distribution. It is designed to boot from 3 floppies on any MSDOS/Windows machine. ... But I was wondering if anyone had done it and which distro they used. Cheers, Leke.

[Freedos-user] Re: Linux on FreeDos or vice versa?
Thanks for the very detailed responses! I didn't realise you could partition the hard drive to run different Operating Systems on the older computers. I will Google Lilo and find out what it's all about. L.
