[Freedos-user] uide versus audio cd versus udvd
Hi, short question about CD-DA: The UDVD driver saves a tiny amount of RAM by not supporting raw sector reads, so if you want to rip audio CD to audio files, you have to use UIDE, the more complete driver. My question is: Who does audio CD ripping in DOS at all? Depending on that, it might be worth enabling raw read in UDVD, making it more known that raw is only available in UIDE, or maybe do nothing as nobody cares? Regards, Eric :-) PS: I myself prefer cdparanoia-related abcde to rip in Linux. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[Freedos-user] DOS based backup delivered via PXE...
I blew it, my Linux From Scratch system that I've been trying to tailor to run over NFS so I can use it for backup and restoration purposes no longer has /usr/bin or /usr/sbin. Are there any free dos based backup solutions that work over network? The obvious problem is network card and file system support. If I want to back up say a Syllable 0.6.7 system, I need Andrew File System support. I found on a web site the idea of using a diskless Linux system NFS root with dosemu and ghost installed. However, ghost isn't free and I don't think it can handle the Andrew file system for example. It is a lot of work to build Linux from scratch. Linux is a capable enough system to back up anything, especially if it is booted NFS root. This seems like overkill big time though. The annoying thing about mondo backup is that there are no instructions for installing the tools to a Linux From Scratch system. Oops! Seems like there should be a solution where freedos is PXE booted with a backup/restore program installed. If freedos supports network cards as well as Linux for free in the future, that will help considerably. The minimal Linux with dos running on top idea isn't a bad idea. In theory, the underlying Linux system can take care of the networking. File system support can still be a problem, but in theory, supporting Andrew file system in a dos environment should be easier than supporting the latest gigabit network card. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
