SYS with kernel name metakern sys and crea That is fine for a dos only system. I was planning to use grub and add a section for freedos. So that I would boot Suse(default) PCDOS and FreeDOS each on their own partitions. I was filling up my small 9 gig /home partition so I added a 40gig drive half of which is the new /home. I now have a 9 gig primary partition hda4 to use. I can not push it into the extended partition because PCDOS only sees 8gig. If freedos has overcome these limitations then it will work, otherwise Ill have to wait for the next major suse release then I can free up the small drive. One question can Freedos use such large partitions and can it use other than hda1 which is the first partition on the first drive where PCDOS must reside?

Re: [Freedos-user] ABNT2 in dosemu
Hi Carlos, I cannot help you with DOSEMU but I can help you with the brazilian ABNT2 keyboard. The point is: the brazilian ABNT2 is not meant to work with codepage 860. Change it to one of the following codepages: 1) 858 (FreeDOS default). It provides all the necessary accented letters for portuguese (both small and capital letters) and the Euro sign on + + . 2) 850 (MS-DOS default): The Euro sign is not availbable; all the rest is the same. 3) 437 (VGA BIOS default): You will miss several accented letters (both small and capital) and some labeled characters on the keyboard; however, those mixed single-double linedraw characters will be available (not directly through the keyboard, but through combining and the necessary codes on the numeric pad). I suggest you use the following on AUTOEXEC.BAT: DISPLAY CON=(EGA,999,3) MODE CON CP PREP=((858,850,437) EGA.CPX) MODE CON CP SEL=nnn (Where "nnn" is any of the 3 previously prepared codepages) KEYB BR Important: Be sure that you're using the latest DISPLAY, MODE, KEYB, CPIDOS and KEYB*.SYS packages. (As far as I know, CHCP is not available for FreeDOS.) If you need anything else, we can continue this conversation in portuguese ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Last but not least: I remember once ago a user having problems on handling codepages with certain applications under DOSEMU; if that's also your case, I would suggest DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net) .

Re: [Freedos-user] Multiple DOS
Carl Spitzer wrote: Has anyone been able to multiboot PCDOS and FREEDOS? CWSIV I do somewhat often, but my procedure probably isn't what you want. (I use sys /bootonly /oem:XX where XX is FD or PC depending which I want to boot, but this option is only useful for floppies in the latest version of sys until I commit my local changes :-). I suggest you use a boot loader, several have been mentioned, there is also Eric's multikern method (useful if you don't want to have multiple partitions). If you have both PC-DOS and FreeDOS on the same partition, use fdconfig.sys instead of config.sys (or make sure config.sys is compatible syntax for both) and either always use FreeCom (or 4DOS) command shell or add a shell statement to your config.sys and optionally specify an alternate startup file (autoexec.bat replacement). Check the FAQ, I believe there are several entries that provide more details for booting FreeDOS with other OSes (especially other DOSes).

[Freedos-user] New XCOPY update to test
Hi, I have uploaded rxcopy13.zip to http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/by-others/ now... The new version fixes bugs in drive letter validity checking (I assume only the Turbo C compile had the problem, in other words only version 1.2 had the problem). The new version also features full kitten translation now, including the confirmation prompts. Please test and please submit translated xcopy.?? files (where ?? is your language) - but remember that you must use a DOS codepage when editing the file. Easiest way to do this is to edit the file in a DOS box :-). If you would use some Linux / Windows codepage instead, umlauts and other characters would look wrong when using XCOPY later. Enjoy :-). Eric PS: I also fixed the "is there enough space on the destination drive?" checks, which seem to have been broken for quite a while. --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
