 It does works - installing is easy, runs easy. I download freedos.img

1. how to pause output? Outside Windows I may press Pause key - how in QEMU?
   For example, I wish pause at some point, before screen content is
   replaced by next output...

related question:

2. how to scroll (view previous) output? freedos.img outputs too much,
   thus making most its output useless, unless it may be studied. ^Up, ^PgDn
   in main console (^Alt-1) doesn't work.

3. how to copy files to images or create non-empty images (from hard-drive
   directories)? For example, I wish to update kernel.sys or command.com -
   how?

3.1. I was try -fda fat:subdir, but freedos.img doesn't shows (dir a:)
   content of subdir (it think, there are no diskette). -hdb fat:subdir
   also not helps - dir d: shows no files. The more so, dir c: also

 Excellent work!  However, in testing the base CD in Virtual PC 2004, I 
 came across this problem during postinst.bat:
 Batchfile 'C:\FDOS\POSTINST.BAT' does not contain label 's4_801586'.

The same here. It seems that the install procedures don't like Virtual PC.

 related question:
The usage of the console (Ctrl-Alt-2) command stop and cont isn't
practical. I'm too unable to use the pause key in QEmu :(

 2. how to scroll (view previous) output? freedos.img outputs too much,
thus making most its output useless, unless it may be studied. ^Up, ^PgDn
in main console (^Alt-1) doesn't work.
The screen provided by QEmu isn't a console screen. It's the output of
the emulated graphic card. Therefor, it doesn't have a buffer to scroll.
Maybe, there is the possibility to reroute the output to the serial
interface and write this into a file or tail tool. Never tried this before.

 3. how to copy files to images or create non-empty images (from hard-drive
directories)? For example, I wish to update kernel.sys or command.com -
how?
See point 4.

 3.1. I was try -fda fat:subdir, but freedos.img doesn't shows (dir a:)
content of subdir (it think, there are no diskette). -hdb fat:subdir
also not helps - dir d: shows no files. The more so, dir c: also
shows no files!
Maybe like -hda vvfat:local_directory/. Do a google for it or check
the manual from QEmu. You need to specify it explicitly when using the
VVFAT.

 More generic question:
 
 4. how to exchange files inside and outside virtual environment (and/or
between real media and QEMU image)?
If you use the RAW disk format, you can use EditDisk / DiskExplorer
(http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013937/editdisk/index_e.html;). Use
the  vmware plain disk format.

If you use the vmware disk format, you can mount the disk images with
the Virtual Disk Driver
(http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vdk.html;).

The QCOW disk format is currently broken in QEmu for Win32.

You can use different utilities to edit floppy images or ISO images und
use them with QEmu.

You can use the VVFAT option from QEmu to mount a local directory. It's
limited to ~500MB max. and maybe buggy.

I personaly use the MS-Client for DOS and mount a share from my Windows
XP host over the network. But this is a little complicated to setup and
a bit slow. You can see my config files under
http://geodb.org/secB.htm#secB;.

My two cents.

 This also not relates directly for BC, but for any compiler, which
diagnoses (or even prevents) assigning const pointers to non-const pointers.
I mean, there should be split (in description) between changes, which make
compatibility with specific compiler (like adding #include stdarg.h for BC
or removing explicit #pragma option for TC), and changes, which clean
sources and make happier most/all compilers (like providing explicit
prototypes and/or make function definition equal to its prototype).

 I'm sorry, but I made it quite clear in the announcemet that the full
 ISOs were NOT ready yet.  I would have annouced it if they were.  That
 is your problem for taking the risk and knowing that they ISOs already
 on ibiblio could not quite be ready.

   
Hi everyone.  I didn't realize the full ISOs weren't ready for 
distribution yet.  The note in the announcement read Shortly, the 
larger and more featureful ISOs will also be uploaded.  And since the 
ISOs were uploaded by the time I read the announcement, I assumed that 
shortly had already happened.  My bad.

Anyway, I've removed the fdfullws and fdfullcd from '1.0' on ibiblio (I 
put them in '1.0-Testing').

[Freedos-devel] OT freedos irc / emails to markus/tassilo

2006-09-04 Thread markus
Hi

We had a major failor in our hardware. 3 Harddisks died at the same
time (well there it goes ur raid5). anyway never saw something like that.
the irc network was affected because on one of the nodes our i7c.org hub
was running.
i configured a new hub (balamb) and we r linked again. the only server
thats NOT linked is irc2 since its admin is on vacation (i already
emaied him).
anyway irc.i7c.org is a roundrobin in our dns so that u always get a
running one.
one last problem was that nobody was able to log into balamb since i had
a little config error, but thats fixed and everything runs smoth except
that irc2 isnt linked.
eric since you -for what ever reason- refuses to use domain names the
savest server would be 62.75.152.234 for you.

another system that was affected was the emails. i think all mails got
send sucessfully to the backup mx but in case i wont answer to some of
ur emails pls send it again.

thanks a lot and sorry for the problems.

tassilo

 Does the ISO I just re-uploaded work now? (I know, it's kinda cheating).

Hey jackass, did it occur to you that your actions will cause problems with
people trying to download the ISO's?  Or who have already downloaded it?

If you have to do a bug fix, do a .0.1 release or something.

But releasing 1.0 and then replacing it is just plain irresponsible.  You 
should *NEVER* do a release and then replace it with a silent upgrade.  If 
you have to fix something, do a point release.

You ought to have your uploading priveleges revoked for that stunt.

Here I am, I've spent about 5 hours slowly downloading the full version, 
getting just a few K per second, and right before it gets done, you go and 
replace it.

Jackass.
