Re: [Freedos-user] trying to installa freedos on a VM
Hi Tony, I didn't see the Use Base option on the menus in the Full CD Well I meant use the fdbasecd.iso CD. But you can also unselect all packages outside the base category, for example. After making a partition in Vmware 6- and writing the partition table I rebooted my VM. Then you did not format the partition yet nor was there DOS on it... All I see is Freedos Boot is booting, please be patient Invalid operating system You probably had to boot from CD again to continue with the install, but your VM BIOS settings were wrong so it tried to boot from the not yet completed installation harddisk.

Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive
Hi Tony, I use MSDOS and WinImage to make bootabel USB images. What form of MSDOS? A diskette image? CD image? Real diskette? Real CD? If you get FreeDOS in the same form, you should be able to use WinImage in the same way to make bootable USB... Is The above URL mentioned on the Freedisk.org site? What is that? What are the conditions for being mentioned there? What is the rugulo distro? The diskette distro on http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ ... It is basically an already installed FreeDOS 1.1 base plus some extra tools minus some docs. As there is not even a CD of FreeDOS 1.1 yet, I would say it is a very nice distro (and you can use any of the 3 diskette images and make a bootable CD from it yourself) :-). The PROBLEM with the Rugxulo distro is that somebody would have to help Rugxulo to collect all source code in one or more zip files because technically he has to provide the source code on the same homepage as the distro disks as the GNU GPL License requests that. Any volunteers? There already is a list of URLs for the homepages of all packages in the distro, so you basically visit them all to collect sources. If you can help - thanks! :-) Eric - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.

Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive
Hi Carlos, only one question, where is the equivalent to dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M in MS-DOS/FreeDOS or Windows environment? You probably mean dd if=dosdisk.bin of=/dev/fd0? You can use FreeDOS DISKCOPY for diskcopy dosdisk.bin a: which should even work when you use it in common versions of Windows... :-). If you meant something else, let me know.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos 1.1
Hi HCL BA, I don't see enough information about the FreeDOS 1.1 upgrade process. Nobody volunteered to help with FreeDOS 1.1 base CD yet. What softwares will be included? How are those softwares organized? I would say mostly the same as in 1.1, but before we can think about a full CD, we need to have a base CD. The BASE CD will, as in 1.0, contain things which are the equivalent of things that are part of a normal MS DOS 5 or 6 installation. In other words, not much will change. If you ask me, himem/emm386/debug upgrades will be himemx/jemm386/debugx, but beyond that - mostly 1.0 style. What the users may expect to find and use? Mostly same as 1.0 Instruction, presentation, etc... Same as 1.0, but updated. See the various places in the 1.0 distro and on our webpage (Freedos and FD-DOC). I have several programs I want to be enlisted in this upgrade, but I don't know how and to whom. Suggest them on the list :-) Eric Hi Michael, How is it [FreeDOS 1.1] coming along? A crucial part of the work for 1.1 is putting all packages which got updated since 1.0 into zips in installable shape. In other words, download them from their author's web pages and make 2 zips with our standard directory structure, one without the binaries and with the sources and one without the sources and with the binaries (I personally prefer if BOTH zips contain the docs etc). You can see which updated zips are already there at http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/fdupdate/ ... http://www.freedos.org/freedos/software/ ... http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ ... one file: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/fdpkgnew.txt ... - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Hi! dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M is the option used by Jari Turkia to mount one image in a USB device (I don't have floppy disk)? http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05982.html I don't know if diskcopy works on usb devices but I'll try this weekend (I don't have Freedos in this computer) I'll try also the dd version suggested in other mail Thanks for your help Carlos -- Original Message -- Received: 22/04/2008 12:11 PM CEST From: Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive Hi Carlos, only one question, where is the equivalent to dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M in MS-DOS/FreeDOS or Windows environment?
