[Freedos-user] Freedos Boot Image
Originally to: All Hi All, I noticed a Freedos image in the UBCD4Win (Universal Boot CD for Windows) that I downloaded recently. IIRC, I clicked on Freedos on the UBCD4Win Menu. Then I used EDIT to look at AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS and README. The image file was a 1.44MB boot disk for Freedos. I couldn't use a mouse in EDIT, but that was alright since I cut my teath on Commodore BASIC for their C=64, and learned DOS at work on a ITT computer that had ITT-DOS 2.11 on it. If a ctmouse.exe file was in the image I could had used the mouse. I have been reading this echo since December 2010 and have saved many messages I have seen in the echo, so far I gathered 6.8 million Bytes of interesting information from the folks in here. I've learned a lot of things about DOS that I've never saw B4. Thanks! * SLMR 2.1a #T348 * What taxes?

While it is not official, I really like the idea of Rugxulo's RUFFIDEA distro. It packs most BASE programs as listed here www.freedos.org/software/?cat=base and dozens of other small, free, often open source, goodies on just three floppy disks.

The third disk of Brezel was just a big zip with the doc/ directory wrapped up. As a German-friendly distro, Brezel also contained a German HTMLHELP and FreeCOM and localization things. If you were to omit all text files and maybe drop a few lesser-used apps, you CAN manage with one floppy of running FreeDOS where MS DOS took 3 install disks and probably more when you installed to floppies :-) But as said, between two and four disks of FreeDOS are just so much more fun than doing with just one.

No official floppy images, no, mostly because nobody uses them anymore. :-(
You can probably? use something like Smart Boot Manager to boot from
CD, even if your BIOS doesn't support it, but I've not tried.
http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs/smbtmgrx.zip
Alternately, you can find any old DOS boot floppy, create a very
minimal install, then copy the .ISO (split up, of course) on other
floppies, then recombine it and mount it via SHSUCDHD. Then you could
presumably install from there. Probably easier to grab if you have
working network card (NIC) and packet driver (Crynwr).
P.S. You could try older floppy images of ODIN ("one disk installer")
or similar, but these may be somewhat old and outdated (but better
than nothing, I suppose):

The installation CD has a menu option to create a boot floppy that should work from a computer with working OM and floppy devices. The only machine I tried it on (core2duo) gave floppy drive failure messages every time, but succeeded in making a bootable floppy after booting freshly installed FreeDOS 1.1.

[Freedos-user] deselecting localization features breaks installation
Last week I installed 1.1 from CD burned from downloaded iso. I deselected such localization features as keyb and nlsfunc and others I don't remember. The final stages of installation produced several screenfuls of the same localization error message that I no longer remember. The resulting fdconfig.sys was broken, producing no displayed menu, but waits on user input based upon the missing menu. I searched the bug tracker for the string fdconfig.sys and got 0 hits. Ordinarily I file bugs when I see things like this, but it's been a week and I don't remember details sufficient to make a useful report.
