And if you are planning on including chkdsk. Please take the 0.9.1 version.

But then again dosfsck is probably a better choice.

Hi Bart,

 First of all, I couldn't find a kernelx.zip package.

http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/
has  kernel2036-binary.zip  and  kernel2036-source.zip :-)

For unstable 2037, you will have to ask Blair. But the ISO
contains the various kernel binaries in unpackaged form
already as far as I know.

 But it looks like the sources are missing documentation?

Yes, a really regrettable move to save space. The docs are
only in the binary packages, so you need the binary package
AND the source package to create an updated binary package.
I would prefer having the docs in BOTH packages.

 to save some disk space? It doesn't seem completely proper to me.

 Is there a list somewhere with all the versions that are used?

The ISO contains a tool called RIPCORD (or did it get renamed?)
which tells the version numbers of all components. Alternatively,
grab the LSM files from the zips on the ISO or from an installed
system :-).

 And is the command.com that is used in FD 1.0 somewhere under
 ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/
 at all?

Good question, you will have to ask Blair for that one again.
Not sure if all changes are in CVS yet and if something based
on the CVS is on ibiblio already. As for FreeDOS kernel 2036,
my copy of the kernel contains a few changes which are not in
CVS yet, so the kernel on my page and in the ISO is slighly
newer than the CVS stable 2036.

I also recommend to read the notes about known 1.0 issues on
http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdInstall

By the way, any plans for publishing some upgrade pack to 1.01?
The fdbase* ISOs could be updated to 1.01 completely, but people
who do not want to re-download the fdfull* ISOs should be able
to get things updated by downloading one or more files from some
updated since 1.0 directory on ibiblio :-).

[Freedos-devel] packages for dosemu-freedos.

2006-10-24 Thread Bart Oldeman
Hi,

I'm looking again into upgrading the freedos package for dosemu, and
use freedos 1.0 versions obviously.

There is a nice list in
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs
but I'm only going to provide a small subset of that obviously.

There are a few issues though:
First of all, I couldn't find a kernelx.zip package. There's a
kernels.zip and a unstablx.zip, but I may have missed it in the long
list.

Also, I would (perhaps naively) expect that all *x.zip packages can be
obtained from the *s.zip packages by compilation. I.e. if you have all
the compilers you can just download all the *s.zip packages, compile
them and don't need to download any x package, similar to .src.rpm's
and rpm's.

But it looks like the sources are missing documentation? Is that just
to save some disk space? It doesn't seem completely proper to me.

Maybe I should just download everything from
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/*/
instead? That may work out better but giving that the 1.0 label may be
confusing because some versions may be different. Is there a list
somewhere with all the versions that are used?
And is the command.com that is used in FD 1.0 somewhere under
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/
at all?

Bart
