Re: [Freedos-user] Question about Virtual Box performance.
One should keep in mind, that Microsoft indeed has changed the VirtualPC from their first version (2004) on - we used the pre-Microsoft version of that tool for a DOS based software and Novell Netware connector. Starting with VirtualPC (from Microsoft) the network speed reduces dramatically .. therefore we gave up the idea of using the VirtualPC for that stuff.

Re: [Freedos-user] DOS on VM
Microsoft now gives the VirtualPC away for free use - you may give it a try. But to be honest, the best emulator for DOS is still the latest software version of the VirtualPC BEFORE Microsoft bought the company and changed the development. We used that old version on several machines to get a special MS DOS program to run under Windows NT. Then the software was taken off the market and the new version from Microsoft appeared and they seem to change quite a lot within the software (for security reasons one could read on the WWW) and now network access under DOS (Novell) was so slow, that it was unusable. Perhaps the best DOS emulation on the market is still OS/2 or we might see a ZEN enabled DOS to run under Linux host system ? Marten - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freedos-user] C compilers.
The development is done either under OS/2 or Windows, but you create DOS code ... Marten Sorry for the garbage. In the OpenWatcom site, I only find the installer for windows.

[Freedos-user] Release 2 is strange
All that software is strange. The CD-ROm installation did not do the work and now I tried to install via the discs and all these installations break with missing files here and missing files there. Especially "textinst.exe" is missing ... This is the worst software installation I have ever seen so far and no positive sign at all.

[Freedos-user] Installation experiences ...
Hello, I've just tested the ISO-CD image to install the system on two different machines and - after all - it failed. The first machine was a ten years old P-II with 390 MByte RAM and I was not able to boot the burned ISO-CD on that machine (though the other bootable (I had access to) CDROMS worked). The next one was a P-IV machine with 512 MByte RAM. The system booted, but after all I did not managed to install the stuff there. During one installation (there are several way) I received invalid opcodes messages and the installation stopped. Then after about 10 retries I managed to get the installation run through, but I never managed to make the system reboot - no chance. I always got the message: "PRESS KEY TO REBOOT". And yes I did "sys c:" - but it did not help at all. Keep up doing this work. I like the idea to have a free dos available.
