[Freedos-user] FreeDOS install on 2nd hard drive

[Eric]

I have two hard drives.  The first (HDA) looks like this:

HDA1:  Dell rescue (FAT)
HDA2:  WinXP
HDA3:  Windows swap

The second look like this:

HDB1:  Spare 1.4 GB
HDB2:  NetBSD
HDB3:  Kubuntu
HDB5:  Linux swap
HDB6:  Linux /boot
HDB7:  NTFS drive (D:) 
HDB8:  Shared FAT partition (M:)
HDB9:  Linux /home

I'd like to put FreeDOS on HDB1, but wanted to know if that was possible. 
When I boot using a DOS bootable floppy, HDA1 shows up as C:, HDB8 shows 
up as D:.  If I install FreeDOS, will it be able to use C:?

Also, will FreeDOS mess up my drive lettering in XP?

I boot using Grub and have read the previous recent posts about booting 
FreeDOS with Grub, so I think I should be OK.

[Freedos-user] Run command.com 0.82 pl 1 from a box WinDos (Gui for FreeDOS)

[OSCAR GONZALEZ]

Hi Jim
Recibo muchos correos diariamente preguntando sobre WinDos, esto es muy bueno 
para me, pero a la mayoria no los
entiendo que preguntan.
Estoy haciendo una aplicacion que puede ejecutar desde WinDos el Command.Com 
version 0.82 pl 1 de FreeDOS.
Hasta ahora va muy bien puesto que puedo ejecutar algunos programas ordinarios 
de DOS desde una Ventana de WinDos.
Ejemplo de programas DOS ejecutados desde WinDos.
 pkunzip.exe
 unzip32.exe
 dn.com
 vsafe.com
 doslfn.com
 y la mayoria de las ordenes internas de command.com 0.82 pl 1 de FreeDOS.
Espero terminar muy pronto y que se puedan ejecutar todos los programas 
ordinarios de DOS desde la ventan de WinDos.
Bien lo termine y vea que es una version estable, te lo envio.
 
 
  EL CHANGO v4.

David was searching for a software which is falsely distributed  as
"free", the software is named "FreeWin". In reality "FreeWin" is a
modified version of Windows 3.11, see the thread :
http://www.computing.net/windows31/wwwboard/forum/12120.html

WinDOS is maintained by Oscar; we wrote about renaming the project and
Oscar mentioned once "FreeWin", but his work is based on the open
source SEAL and has nothing to do with Windows as the above mentioned
FreeWin.

[Freedos-user] disc partitition / filesystems FDos undertands

[David Zabriskie]

I saw there was a tool that looked like fsck from unix (dosfsck) is says it 
understands 
fat32(LBA) so I tried to reinstall with fat32(lba) the bootable cd crashes just 
after detecting the 
hard drive, so I'm guessing the OS doesn't want itself on a fat32 fs?

I guess I'll have to live with a *big* cluster size. 

You mentioned something about using a boot floppy and 'mounting' the cd-rom iso 
image
from it for installation. where would I find an image of the floppy that has 
the needed utilities?

I'll reformat to fat16(lba) and copy over the ISO and other downloaded files 
for it
and try to reinstall again. 

I remember using 4dos vs command.com to get better shell scripting, I saw 
you have 4dos available. To use it would I change the entries in config.sys
to use that instead of comand.com?

I accidently used ls instead of dir, it said I didn't have something -
I'm guessing an XMS/EMM386 type thing? I remember using QEMM
for memory managment, but understood they have since gone out of
business?   Is that something the installer never got to, due to waiting
forever for the DHCP reply? I was advised to just not install networking stuff 
for the 1st install, do I just untick all the things that look like networking?
The packet driver does find the NIC and ID it correctly.

How do I install the 'packages' that were not installed at installation?

Sorry to be such a bother *sigh* 

Fuzzy

All,

This flamewar is not helpful or productive. If anything, it's harmful.
Please, I'm asking you to stop so we can get back to talking about
real issues for FreeDOS.

"Federal Case", you say??A phrase rarely heard outside the U.S.A.,  
which
refers to the laws we use to prosecute gangsters or racketeers??   With  
your
recent f.iend, that is 2 NEW additions to your English "lexicon", after  
your
hilarious "3nd" on BTTR last month or your TERRIBLE grammar yesterday in --



So tell us, my good friend [G]retch, who now "coaches" you on your  
otherwise
LOUSY English??   One of the "Big-time Trolls" from North America, or else  
a
REAL gangster/racketeer, maybe??

[And thanks to one of your OWN countrymen for the words "Big-time  
Trolls"!!]

Not "witnesses", as this is not your "Federal Case", surely!!   Just  
friends
who have also been STUCK "dealing with" you in the past, as noted in --



> The SHSUCDX bug you mentioned is NOT commonly known.

I mentioned NO such "bugs" by name or number.   The one you noted IS NOT  
the
same as what I had in mind.

As for the comment by Eric Auer that --

> Jack is not going to help Japheth to make UIDE32 anyway

Of course not!I believe a DOS driver should be "general purpose" and  
NOT
limited to only one special Extended Memory manager!   I want all my  
drivers
to run with MS-DOS EMM386, QEMM, 386MAX, RM386, and all other such  
managers.
FLEXIBILITY outranks saving 4K of XMGR/UIDE upper-memory.Besides, all  
my
friends, and a majority of users they advise, want something SIMPLE. 
They
need and appreciate "normal" DOS systems.   They are NOT interested in  
DPMI,
VCPI nor other 32-bit Hallelujah "Sorcery".   So they all use UMBPCI and  
are
quite happy with it.   For them, I will ALWAYS do "general purpose"  
drivers!

Great!

BIASED or not, let the world judge it, I think it's the best answer!

History have no mercy on bad guys, and it reminds us what's the name of the
good people.

Ask yourself: Want to be good or bad?

also used to describe the motion of chemical bonds
* A person who is fond of making jokes
* A verb referring to truancy in Australian or New Zealand slang

WAG can refer to:

* WAGs, a British tabloid press term for the Wives and Girlfriends of
sportsmen, particularly footballers
* Walgreens, a U.S. convenience/drug store (NYSE symbol: WAG)

* Wireless Advisory Group, a group which provides advice and information on
wireless technologies to the JANET community
* Wireless Audio Gesture, a wireless device worn by guitarists to change

Can you write in plain English?
Thank you!
