[Freedos-user] Had trouble getting autoexec.bat to run on boot, and Whiplash game results in GPF
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I posted to the ML sometime early last week about not being able to install FreeDOS, and was directed to install the base version without network support. I did, and the install went through successfully. Just want to update you guys on my experiences since. 1) FreeDOS considers the hdd it boots from to be C, but fdconfig.sys had some lines that that referred to D:\freedos\bin which I had to change to C:\freedos\bin to get it to run autoexec.bat on boot. Not sure why it had the wrong lines, but you might want to look into it. 2) I installed FreeDOS hoping to get an old DOS racing game, Whiplash, to run (the game doesn't run under XP). Well, it doesn't run under FreeDOS either... it results in a general protection fault. Also loading from the optical drive seems excessively slow. If you want more details on either of these problems let me know and I'll provide specifics. - -Rob -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHfJ9s+KyO/KUp2FYRAucxAJ9//qFHZjZ/tri6zm89+2clY0ibJACgngbv 73r50W0aMKgSkS9Xq8BV088= =Y6P5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Freedos-user] Can't install FreeDOS
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 'Can't install FreeDOS. I tried to report this to Bugzilla but I'm not getting the confirmation email(s) when I try to set up an account. Anyway, my problem... when the installation routine asks me my IP address I enter DHCP. The install responds: Configuration complete. Dependencies met or there aren't any dependencies. Configuring... D:\FDOS\Bin\CTMOUSE\ctm-EN.exe => D:\FDOS\Bin\mouse.exe Configuration complete. Dependencies met or there aren't dependencies. Configuring... Configuring through DHCP... And then it starts beeping like crazy. I assume the problem has something to do with obtaining the IP address from my ISP. I don't know whether it matters, but I have a Buffalo Airstation router. Like I said I tried to report this to the FreeDOS bugzilla but I wasn't able to set up my account. Any help reporting the bug or installing FreeDOS would be greatly appreciated. - -Rob -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHbrHr+KyO/KUp2FYRAq1KAKDkqDzgpW/BNi/ZTgmo09xOT2exkgCeLrZD sZ+M3iD1+bFOl8COCJIJzzE= =oPrL -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
