You seem to have a CD now that uses direct floppy emulation, and the floppy contains a kernel, shell, a ramdisk driver, and cdrom access. Connecting CD to the setup process is easy, just be sure to let your bootdisk part (config.sys) have a shell line that includes the /F parameter, as it's used by the CD to determine if a FAT partition has been formatted or not. Direct floppy emulation might have slightly more compatibility with various computer BIOS than the non-emulation mode used by Isolinux. However you loose a lot of flexibility, like deciding to boot from harddisk or floppy instead of cdrom (which you can do once at the isolinux prompt). There might be slighly more traps involved in using the FreeDOS CD, I still gotta make a small list of issues and proposals on how to solve them. Meanwhile, enjoy FreeDOS and hopefully we can start working on a 1.01 version in the next weeks as we now got a base platform to work from Bernd -- Efficiency is intelligent lazyness - Take Surveys.

I don't see a purpose in circumventing ISOLinux, and I don't see any future distribution not using ISOLinux.

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS Boot CD (Round 2)
Well, I played a little more with the boot CD, I have a rescue image that it boots from, using SHSU ramdisk to load a FDBOOT.IMG and set that image so there is TEMP space... I haven't started connecting the boot CD to the FreeDOS setup program, but so far it looks good... If anyone wants a copy of the work 'in progress' let me know. -T "I finally understand the true value of time, for it is the bonds between us that give time its meaning." - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
