I'd rather recommend DOSBox for that. "-m 64" is fairly low. I usually leave it default (unless needing more), which is "-m 128". But even that is fairly low.

"-net nic,model=pcnet -net user" is good if you already have (included in FD 1.2) PCNTPK. So that's good for mTCP (FTP), Watt-32 (Links2), etc. "-drive file=fat:rw:/myfiles/dos" is weak but good in a pinch. Nothing else obvious sticks out as worth mentioning. > - My system is a Linux 64-bits, but I am not sure if I should use either > qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-x64. Isn't there a (Debian?) "kvm" script? IIRC, all that it does is use x64 and "-enable-kvm". (That's assuming you have VT-X. One site recommends this: egrep "(vmx|svm)" /proc/cpuinfo ) Otherwise, since you're on x64 anyways, just use the x64 version (unless you know otherwise). No idea which is better for DOS (or faster or more compatible or ...). -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Someone also mentioned the EU has strict e-privacy rules, and SourceForge may be making these changes to get in-line with those rules (SourceForge's message suggests something like this.)

I just did the upgrade to Fedora 26beta, so I haven't tried QEMU under that yet, but FreeDOS 1.2 worked fine in Fedora 25, including sound. I'll share the options I use later tonight or tomorrow, when I can boot my home system. I have a script to launch it the same way every time. I don't use pcspk, but the rest of the options look similar. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] OT: Qemu questions
Hello friends, I have re-discovered Qemu after using Virtualbox for FreeDOS for a couple of years. Since qemu is mostly for command-line use (I don't use any laucher yet) I'd like to ask what are the options you usually use in Qemu. My options are: qemu-system.i386 -localtime -hda freedos.img -m 64 -soundhw sb16,adlib,pcspk Some thoughts: - Are any additional options I should use for DOS?? - My system is a Linux 64-bits, but I am not sure if I should use either qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-x64.

Hi, I didn't get a captcha either on Firefox 54.0 on Linux, but the form was accepted. Something is broken at SourceForge, I guess.

I never said the captcha only fails to appear in older browsers. On the contrary, I said, clearly enough, that it did not appear also in Chrome under Android, but, in this case, the form was accepted, while under both Firefox 2.0.20 and SeaMonkey 2.6.12 it was rejected and the stated reason for rejection was a missing captcha answer. The reply I got from SourceForge did not mention nor suggest any bug/quirk in Sourceforge's site. It offered two suggestions to solve the problem. One was that I enable JavaScript, which was already enabled. The other was to use another browser. No one said before in this list that the captcha does not appear under Firefox 54. If the form was accepted even without captcha, this is more evidence in support of what I said.
