But Esc is as in MS-DOS and I introduce (similar) F8. Unfortunately, I don't know which key may be assigned to ALLNO. :( O! What you say about this: ?device=himem.sys[Y/n/Esc=all N/F8=all Y/F5=skip all] Of course, Esc should answer N only for lines with "?". --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

[Freedos-kernel] default drive and CDS
Hi! In kernel often used constructions, similar to next: if (get_cds(drv ? drv - 1 : default_drive) == NULL) but for `default_drive' get_cds() always should be non-NULL, so this code may be optimized: if (drv && get_cds(drv - 1) == NULL) Question: is there possible, that CDSp[default_drive].cdsFlags will be changed or .cdsDpb will be cleared, but default_drive will not be changed? --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Re: [Freedos-kernel] kernel progress
I just reproduce MS-DOS behavior. Also, I myself found that skipping all remaining questions (including "?") is useful. Though, later this behavior may be changed (and documented in config.txt!).

[Freedos-kernel] kernel prograss
Hi!
Well, as I promise:
config.c
- when tracing, Esc now turns off asks for all following lines, including
lines with "?", and assumes "Y" for all; F8 now behaves similar to Esc.
- environment for INSTALL= now includes previous SETs.
- fix: CmdSet(): with SET environment variables now may be redefined and
removed ("V=").
task.c
- fix: new_psp(): as in MS-DOS6, ps_parent now not changed; ps_exit, ps_unix,
ps_farcall, ps_reentry, ps_prevpsp, ps_maxfiles, ps_filetab and ps_files
are initialized.
- patchPSP(): as in MS-DOS6, FCB addresses in exec block now don't checked
and copied only 12 bytes (drive+name+ext).
