Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS as a unikernel?

2021-03-01 Thread Geraldo Netto
Hi Pablo/Eric/All,

I guess there are many different strategies to handle it
But maybe what you're looking for is a customized version of dosemu
(http://www.dosemu.org)?
It seems that usually, unikernels are some sort of "container" or
application-oriented operating system
(https://www.lisha.ufsc.br/pub/Frohlich_2001.pdf) in the sense that
you embed a single application together with the kernel (single
address space operating system with just enough
drivers/infrastructure)

Dunno :(

Asking his tasm/borland c compiler
Maybe we could integrate it on freedos repository or even deprecate

Hello Mateusz/All,

How are you doing?

Well, no one reported any issue until now
So, we can upload the translations
Regarding the update itself, whatever works best for you is okay for me :)
In case you prefer the svn, my source forge user is geraldonetto

Also, i have checked Alain's translation
The only issue is that most of it (if not all) is encoded as ascii
when time permits i'll work on it :)

Hello Maarten,

How are you doing?

Actually, all you need to do is go to http://freedoslocal.sourceforge.net/
right-click and save any file from "en" column :)
So, you will download the original english file

Then you can translate and save it with .nl (?)
When saving you have to take care with the 'file encoding', it must be UTF-8
So, if you are using notepad on Windows you will have to change it
from "ANSI" to "UTF-8"
Finally, you send it to Mateusz :)

Hi All,

Based on Rugxulo/Mateusz FreeDOS local link
I took a few minutes to make some (brazilian) portuguese translations
of the following softwares:
(Translatations available at [1])

choice
compute
find
help
more

pause
sort
tee

Before asking to push on SVN, i'd like to ask any brazilian or

Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS

2015-10-17 Thread Geraldo Netto
Hi Rugxulo/Joe/All,

Indeed :)
BTW, Joe also provided me the beta version of his ltools-like exfat :)
And open watcom is throwing "Floating point exception" on my linux mint:

talvisota Downloads # uname -a
Linux talvisota 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38

Swap: 4093  0   4093

talvisota Downloads # ./open-watcom-c-linux-1.9
Floating point exception

In any case, i have a freedos setup with open watcom under vmware...
I'm also working on Alain's approach (ubuntu server + freedos in a
minimal iso booting freedos directly)
And i'll ask Bart "Olderman" to review Alain's patches, let's see what
happens next
I know that i'm stalling but i swear i'll continue to work on both
approaches as long as my time permits

Oi Alain/All,

Tudo certinho por ai? :)

Well, i think we have different approaches for different needs :P

Alain, while many people dislike the approach you proposed, i can help
updating the distro
That would provide a quick workaround for dosemu users
BTW, what are the bugs that you have found? it is easily reproducible?
Did you report it to Bart ("Bart Olderman")?

Besides your approach there is the approach proposed by Joe
And yet the cdex extention

Let's keep track on all :P

Re: [Freedos-devel] exfat support from android linux for freedos sdxc support and more?

2015-09-27 Thread Geraldo Netto
Hi All,

I was talking to Eric a few days ago about this exfat thread
and while we are worried with the license issues
I would like to volunteer myself to port current exfat from linux
kernel to freedos

Of course, once it's a no-trivial thing i would like to ask your support
i cannot promise anything by now, once i know that talk is cheap as
Mateusz and Tom reported :)

So, what do you think?
what is the svn link to checkout the freedos kernel code?
does freedos have any vfs-equivalent interface? which files are involved?
is Pat's book a valid/current reference to freedos kernel?
which books would you suggest me to read?
what is the easiest way to setup the compiler?

i mean, should i setup a freedos vm with with openwatcom or freeware
version of tc
or do we have a way to 'cross-compile' freedos kernel on linux and use
the vm just to test the code?

Suggestions are always very welcomed :P

Re: [Freedos-devel] BtrFS filesystem in FreeDOS

2012-07-18 Thread Geraldo Netto
Hi Serg!

Unfortunately (AFAIK) FreeDOS cannot handle it
once there are many differencies between linux and freedos at low level

Can`t you use any kind of cd/usb linux?
i myself use system rescue cd
http://www.sysresccd.org/

People will suggest others :P

Kind Regards and Best Wishes,

 Hi everyone,

 what are the chances of seeing a FreeDOS driver for the BtrFS
 filesystem anytime soon?

 As many of you may already know, BtrFS is poised to become the next
 Linux standard filesystem very soon, replacing the ext family of
 filesystems. BtrFS is really good, and is getting better and better.

 It would be really, really nice to have a FreeDOS driver for it, so at
 the very least we would be able to access BtrFS volumes (for instance,
 for maintenance and repair).

 Is anyone planning to work on it?

 Thanks

Hi,

all you need is to make sure the code is under any open source
approved license - http://www.opensource.org/licenses
and then make it available at the web (Eric can help you putting files
at ibiblio - http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/
btw, it is highly recommended to make a package for your softwares...
i don't remember the structure, but
it must be a zip file and it also needs a lsm file which describes your
software (ie: release date, contacts and so on...)

hope it helps

 Hi,

 - As I think xswap will not work in native Linux
 You will not need any of that if you simply compile Arachne
 with a 32bit compiler in the first place.

 Why it can't be also simple compiled on DOS with 32 bit compiler?

 That is what I meant - port Arachne to GNU C / DJGPP and
 then you have better performance in DOS - and an easier
 life in porting to Linux. Two good things for one effort.

 - Dr WebSpyder and Lineo Embrowser (unfortunately no source code)
 ported to Allegro and gave Arachne a speed boost.
 Arachne has GPL license so you can force WebSpyder/Lineo to
 make their Arachne modifications public.

 No, them have purchased a proprietary license from the copyright holders
 (original developers). GPL doesn't surrender rights. It's dual licensing
 like with Qt.

 Oh I understand. That is bad luck for fans then, fans
 will have to port Arachne to Allegro a second time if
 they want a free open source Allegro based Arachne...

 Basically I agree with you, Jim.
 However, it's important to note that FDUPDATE is not only an updater, it may 
 install new software from online repositories, too :-)

 In any case, it should be perceived as an network tool, and it *requires* 
 FDPKG anyway, as the whole remove/install/update stuff work is done 
 externally by FDPKG, not by FDUPDATE (FDUPDATE acts just as a wrapper then).

 Hi!

 I can't use a batch file in my Linux environment. Therefore, I have to
 write some script to compile it. I will look closer at the batch file
 and see about the XCPU setting.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/projects/dos_stuff/freedos_src/blah/kernel$ nasm
 asmsupt.asm
 segs.inc:34: error: symbol `XCPU' not defined before use

 Please have a look at the build.bat and config.b files.
 Basically you edit config.b, rename to config.bat, and
 then build.bat invokes it to set some env variables...

 It should be quite feasible to translate the mechanism
 to Bash :-). I think some of the work is also done by
 standard Makefile files, so after setting the environ-
 ment variables in your Linux shell, you can re-use at
 least some of the batch files.

 Please use the following:

 - SVN snapshot of FreeDOS 2038 stable kernel or similar
 - NASM
 - OpenWatcom C
 - UPX (for example 2.x)

 I think having a set of scripts for crosscompiling from
 Linux would be useful, so once you got it working, it
 would be nice if you could publish the scripts so that
 others can use them as well :-).

 Eric

 PS: You can try to contact Jeremy Davis (can be hard!?) as
 I believe his (now very outdated!) fdos.org page also had
 automated FreeDOS kernel builds made on a Linux server??

 segs.inc:49: error: parser: instruction expected
 segs.inc:50: error: symbol `group' redefined

 I have some questions. Is there any reason to be defining XCPU
 anymore? It seems that nasm has supported CPU for a long, long time.
 Also, does anyone know why the group instructions don't seem to be
 working?

ps: i'm always open to suggestions
ps2: Eric, i did not forget what you said about just release ODIN even
with out-of-date
docs because there are many updates of softwares, i agree with you in
part, because we always can type software-name /?, what do you all

Could it be a problem for users?

 Hi Geraldo,

 Thanks for your reply.  I see you made some updates to the MEM help page.
 There are lots of new commands now so I have a lot more updates to make to
 it.  Mind if I make those and then send you the new page?

 Also do we need to try and be brief in the text so as not to consume too
 much disk space?  I know the files are ZIPped up but was wondering if we
 still need to be careful?

 Thanks in advance,
 David

Hi Tom,

How are you?

Sometime ago i remember that people found a problem in fdisk on both
versions(1.2.1 and 1.3.0(beta))

I just remember that it may corrupt mbr, right?
And a simple workaround at that moment was edit fdisk.ini and change
the value of write to off

Remember?

Geraldo
