Re: [Freedos-user] how much space for freedos
I believe that around 7 MB is sufficient for the BASE programs, but depending on how many other things you want to install, you will need more.

[Freedos-user] how much space for freedos
I would like to install freedos in dual boot mode with windows XP, but what's amazing is that nowhere on the official site of freedos I could find the space needed. I found on some odd web site by googling that there was need of at least 3MB, but I prefer some more secure source. I downloaded the iso file which sizes 12MB, so maybe there is need of at least 12MB on the hard drive. _ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

Re: [Freedos-user] Complete Novice Needs Help (Elf Wizard)
Hi, :-) First of all, I wish to apologise you for the (about 3-4 days) delayed responce. Unfortunately, due to a computer crash (because of my error) I had to restore my backups, so I was off-line for a while. Also I 've lost the original text to copy here. Sorry!!! :-( To the point now: * For DOS gaming under XP (since our friend, that asked for help, had a dual proccessor with enough power), I think DOS Box is the best solution (from there: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 ). Be sure to read the documentation (e.g. for frameskipping with Ctrl-F8). For less power demanding solution take a look at VDM Sound (there: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/ ). I also wrote a little guide for another DOS game (there: http://www.acid-play.com/download/monopoly/review.php , please look at second review, under nickname Elf Wizard). For XP's native (built-in) support for DOS software, bill22 had written an excellent guide (there: http://www.the-underdogs.info/guidedos.php . Also take a look there: http://www.the-underdogs.info/guidewin.php . Please click the links from inside maillist, because the link on the page are broken temporarilly). --- * For the friend who reported that DOS games run unusuall fast at today's systems: Slowdown utility for Windows: http://www.geocities.com/kulhain/ (click at DirectShow SDK CPU Grabber link). Slowdown utility for DOS: http://members.aol.com/bretjohn/ (click at SLOWDOWN). Some other gaming usefull (at my opinion) software: RAM disk for Winows: http://members.fortunecity.com/ramdisk/RAMDisk/ramdriv.htm (free version limited at 64MB). Some simple instructions: Very simple in use. You can disable or uninstall from Device Manager (left click on my computer->Properties->Hardware->Device Manager->RaMDisk->RAM Disk->left click Disable or Uninstall [ Qsoft ]). After Disabling, its not auto-reenabling after restart (and not eating RAM). After Uninstalling, its gone. RAM disk for DOS: http://sourceforge.net/projects/srdisk (very well known ofcourse ;-) . Silence (the annoying speaker) for Windows: Try DOSBox or VDMSound. Silence (the annoying speaker) for DOS: http://www.simtel.net/product.php[url_fb_product_page]50462 -- I hope that helps. Sorry again for delayed responceand for loosing the original text!!! :-( Best Regards!!! Giorgos. :-) - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

After boot, you may use utilities (like sswap.exe from Stacker), which swaps drive letters. Before boot, DOS may be booted only from first harddisk, so there should be support in BIOS to select, which drive is bootable (and, thus, its numbering comes first and, thus, active primary partition on it receives letter C:). - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
