[Christopher Evans]

I sent those to the list because they come with source code as specified 
on the web page, I will check them out later this week. i suspect fat32 
is just 32bit sector index to allow larger drive partitions (8gb) and LFNs.

Neither of the programs will likely work in FreeDOS, not even with
special DOS extenders, but you could try to find a Linux defragger
which can do FAT32. Or, of course, help Imre (long time no news
from him??) with adding FAT32 support to FreeDOS DEFRAG.

Under NT 3.51 that means you need WindowsNT ...

Also for Windows, Florian ask for "FreeDOS Defrag", which is not
finished yet (have bugs).

[Freedos-user] Re: booting USB

[Eric Auer]

Hi, I reviewed some of the URLs...

http://www.aaltonen.us/archive/2004/03/01/tip-boot-from-usb-key-addendum/
mentions the HP Windows tool. For the other method, you have to have a
BIOS which supports USB drives even if you do not boot from them.

http://roudybob.net/archive/2004/03/02/399.aspx
This one (related to previous one, and both have discussion forums on page)
mentions the HP Windows tool, too.

http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardware_bootfromusbstick.php
Here MKBT from http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ is used to fiddle with
boot sectors and write the boot sector to the USB drive. I assume
that this can work in FreeDOS with DOS USB drivers *if* you use a
devel kernel (otherwise the IOCTLs will not work for the USB drive).

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/usb-boot.mspx
This just tells what MS would like your BIOS to do for bootability.

http://www.atd-group.narod.ru/rus/usbdos.htm
That one is in Russian language. Finally, Bootdisk.info crashed Netscape.

http://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Afd-doc.sourceforge.net+usb+boot
http://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Afreedos.org+usb+boot
Shows you that booting USB is no new topic for FreeDOS. Would be nice
if somebody could find out which of the hits are best ;-).

Eric.

[Freedos-user] Re: Maybe a bug about fdconfig.sys or command.com

[Eric Auer]

Hi Arkady,
> 2. /p is option without argument, so your equal sign is wrong.
This is wrong, /p=fdauto.bat works great for me. FreeCOM-specific syntax.
SHELL=c:\freedos\bin\command.com c:\freedos\bin /e:512 /p=c:\fdauto.bat

> 3. why not move "set path" to other line of you fdconfig.sys?
I assume because he did not know that FreeDOS allows SET lines in config sys.

PS: I got your apmnotes.txt and pci-sleep-help-screen comments. You are
right, I forgot a "," and use LF instead of CRLF in apmnotes.txt ...
Bad luck that your system has no PCI devices which support power management.

Eric

Are you downloaded the FreeDOS Beta 9 Service Release #1 Distribution
and won't work?

Try this:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1disk/odin060/

If still won't work, I'll try to make a 1-disk distribution that works
on my machine(s).

[Freedos-user] New NDN beta avaiable nad mpxplay

[Florian Xaver]

Hi!
2 days ago a new beta version of the file manager Necromancer DOS 
Navigator is avaiable! Tested it under FreeDOS and seems to be ok!
http://ndn.muxe.com

On (and only on :-)
http://www.freewebtown.com/mpxplay/
i a new test version of mpxplay.
From the developer:
"- Mpxplay with built-in FTP server (TCPIP serialhandler)
- Mpxplay for 486 CPUs: a little bit faster MP3,OGG and AAC decoding 
(with small quality reduction) and APE,AC3 and DTS handling are removed.
- Sources of some output plugins (I don't upload binaries yet, because 
the APIs of these DLLs are not finalized)."

About the last point: mpxplay will support dlls plugins in the future.
Bye, Flo
