[Freedos-user] Installing windows 98 within dos

2007-04-23 Thread Alex Nu

 Hi,

I have freedos running.
 I have a directory with the installation files for windows 98.
 When I run the windows 98 setup program, it complains that
 windows 98 requires at least 16MB of memory.

 This is the output of the mem command:

Memory TypeTotal   Used   Free
        
Conventional  639K61K   578K
Upper  16K15K 1K
Reserved  369K   369K 0K
Extended (XMS)261,048K26,085K   234,963K
        
Total memory  262,072K26,530K   235,542K

Total under 1 MB  655K76K   579K

Total Expanded (EMS)   32M (33,554,432 bytes)
Free Expanded (EMS)32M (33,521,664 bytes)

Largest executable program size   574K (587,600 bytes)
Largest free upper memory block 1K (672 bytes)
FreeDOS is resident in the high memory area.


Thanks

 Alex

 I'm new to the list, and I just saw a similar question before.
  So I guess, I'll just add the following:
 I don't care if windows 98 replaces freedos while installing.
 Actually, I installed freedos, so that I can install windows98.
SETUP /NM /IS
( NoMachine checking , IgnoreScandisk)

Later on the Windows install program might or might not tolerate the 
FreeDOS kernel, shell and programs.
If installing win98, try a clean (f5, no drivers) FreeDOS bootup. No XMS 
driver will have been loaded then but win98 has the good old 
'xmsmmgr.exe' commandline XMS driver which can install itself at runtime.

Bernd.

Re: [Freedos-user] Partitions freedos can boot from

2007-04-23 Thread Bonnie Dalzell
In relation to my partition problem on the Pentium 3 Gateway. I
reinstalled linux in rescue mode and the reinstall oof grub recognized
that freedos was there in the logical partition but I still could not get 
it to boot - still had the error 12. Since I really did not have
anything critical on the linux install I redid the linux install
entirely on my second primary partition and reformatted the first
primary partition as a fat 32 and put freedos on it and it boots just
fine. So i have still not determined wether freedos can boot from a
logical partition using grub.

my advice, based on this experience, for anyone setting up a new system is
to make a primary fat partition for freedos.
