Re: [Freedos-user] USB mobile,Broad Band device
Hello, everyone, Dose anyone know if a USB mobile broad band device can be used with FreeDos,? Also if any other "browsers" are available? I have been trying with ARACHNE, but no luck, If anyone can help on this, it would be greatly appreciated. I am using a older computer, also with a alternate version, of xubuntu,(linux), and the broad band device dose work, however it would be nice to get it working with FreeDos,on my dos partition if that is possible,..

[Freedos-user] New topic: makeing a ISO
Hello everyone, I am having a hard time, figureing out how to make a ISO image, of the FreeDos partition on my computer.The intention is to make a image (ISO) I can install to Virtual Box, I did install Freedos, to Virtual Box, using the tutorial posted here some time ago, But I could not figure out how to add files, or programs, after Freedos was installed (to Virtual Box). So I resized my Linux partition, on the HD, created a dedicated Dos partition, installed Freedos 1.1, (runs fine), and it was east enough to copy the programs/files, to the dos partition, from Linux, (linux Mint10) since it "reads" and mounts the partition just fine. Ok so now I have Freedos, and the programs , 1 game I use, all working well , on a separate partition. So what I want to do is make a copy, bootable ISO, of the partition (HD), that I could install in Virtual Box. So I can run the game, or other dos programs, with out "closing" or shutting down, and re-booting, with dos. With VB,...It seems easy enough to install a ISO image to virtual box, but where I am "hung up" is How to make the ISO image ?---Ok, 1 more question, I also installed Freedos to a laptop, (Acer aspire series 150), runs fine, but I can not get the "touch pad ,(mouse)", or a USB mouse, to work. I tried CTMOUSE, but it says it is not installed ? Do I need to download CTMOUSE , and add it ? I also tried installing the USBUHCI driver, so I could use USBMOUSE, but it is causeing a "lockup",... (keyboard,etc) just as the warning says it might. So any suggestions as to what usb /mouse driver would be best ? On this computer (the one I use most,and am using at this time), my "table" top, a old IBM, I did not have any problem with the mouse working when I installed Freedos, everything works fine, right from the start.

I hadn't yet installed freedos 1.1 to my real hard drive, because I need to copy or back up some of the stuff I have on the FreeDos1.0 partition,or make a new partition, cause I guess the installation would overwrite everything ?,..but anyway it seems to be working on this VirtualBox just fine, thanks from Garry Thank you and have a Good Day!http://www.garryspages.webs.comhttp://creativeminds.webege.com/phpBB3/index.phpFrom Garry >8.

Hello every one, and also hope everyone had a merry x-mas,Happy New Year,etc. Well, I am happy to see the new version, finally got released,..I have been watching/waiting for over a year now, I noticed, in the freedos-user lists, I have been recieveing, that quite a few were haveing problems downloading, ? or at least it appeared that way, I just now downloaded it, I am in Cuencame,Dgo.Mex.this is the link I used:http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/fd11src.iso And had no problem,..it took about 3 minuetes,maybe 5, useng linux, "chromeium" (a google chrome clone),... I suppose, I will make a new partition, to install it too, as I also am happy with what I have with the older version, I also read, at www.freedos.org, about work being done on adding more utilitys, etc,..Something about USB "flash sticks" or drives, would this include, portable USB HDs, ?,..this would be something I am more interested in , and plan to be trying to do, with the new version, (install to a portable USB HD, (samsung, aprox 280gb), however the dos partition, would only be 1 or 2 GB,..? so anyway I will be watching for what more comes up along that line,... I very rarely post, to the lists, however do read all of the "news letters" as they come in, and apreciate the efforts,and work of those more actively involved, in makeing free dos available,..etc,..Thanks, from Garry I decided not Thank you and have a Good Day!http://www.garryspages.webs.comhttp://creativeminds.webege.com/phpBB3/index.phpFrom Garry -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDos not booting from Grubfordos2
Dennis, When I installed FreeDos, to a new partition, for it, all I did was after it was installed,at the Linux command line I typed:sudo update-grub And FreeDos was added to the boot list,..boots fine I see you have also tried replaceing KERNEL.SYS. with a new kernal,...don't know much about that,,.. I am useing LinuxMint 10 (juliet), don't know if that matters much, but it is worth a try,,useing the sudo update-grub on the command line , no need to fiddle with anything, it all was done automaticly,...maybe I just got lucky!,... You might also want to try, first back up anyfiles in your dos partition that are important, and re-install, then try the sudo update-grub ,first before you start "fiddleing", with the config, or the sys kernel,... Any way good luck,,...I don't have the link handy, but useing google, and Grub for Dos as the keywords, I stumbled onto the most recent instructions,..for, grubfordos2, which is where I read aout the sudo update-grub , option,..

Hello all, I just resized my partition, and created a partition for FreeDos, and installed it new, it installed fine,However, here is my question, the partition with windowsXP and linux, ( when I installed linux, I just installed it under windows,..), of it is useing grub for dos, so it boots with those 2 options, windows or Linux, When I installed Linux Mint 10,(juliet), it set that up automaticly,...Now, dose anyone one know how I can add the FreeDos partition, to this,so it is also a option, I know nothing about Grub for Dos,..practicaly, is there a way to "edit" that,..or what do you all think my best option is ? Before, I had been useing XOSL, I am thinking about installing it again, but it seems like, some time ago, I tried useing it with some other partitions, that were useing grub for dos, and it didn't work out to good.
