Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive
Hi Tony, I use MSDOS and WinImage to make bootabel USB images. What form of MSDOS? A diskette image? CD image? Real diskette? Real CD? If you get FreeDOS in the same form, you should be able to use WinImage in the same way to make bootable USB... Is The above URL mentioned on the Freedisk.org site? What is that? What are the conditions for being mentioned there? What is the rugulo distro? The diskette distro on http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ ... It is basically an already installed FreeDOS 1.1 base plus some extra tools minus some docs. As there is not even a CD of FreeDOS 1.1 yet, I would say it is a very nice distro (and you can use any of the 3 diskette images and make a bootable CD from it yourself) :-). The PROBLEM with the Rugxulo distro is that somebody would have to help Rugxulo to collect all source code in one or more zip files because technically he has to provide the source code on the same homepage as the distro disks as the GNU GPL License requests that. Any volunteers? There already is a list of URLs for the homepages of all packages in the distro, so you basically visit them all to collect sources. If you can help - thanks! :-) Eric - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.

Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive
Hi Carlos, only one question, where is the equivalent to dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M in MS-DOS/FreeDOS or Windows environment? You probably mean dd if=dosdisk.bin of=/dev/fd0? You can use FreeDOS DISKCOPY for diskcopy dosdisk.bin a: which should even work when you use it in common versions of Windows... :-). If you meant something else, let me know.

[Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive
I already know how to make USB drives DOS (msdos) bootable and write bootable images to them. The Freedos Installer does not allow the selection of a USB drive in order to install Freedos to. The only drive the installer would see is the C drive, which contains XP Pro- but XP sees the USB drive just fine. Does anyone have docs on how to install Freedos onto a USB drive? thanks - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Re: [Freedos-user] Docs for installing Freedos onto a USB drive
Well... Which tools do you use? Do you mean bootable diskette images? Or other images? I use MSDOS and WinImage to make bootabel USB images. I'm just using Freedod (or trying ot get it installed) for the first time- and would like to try it on a 1GB USB drive To get a bootable FreeDOS diskette image, just pick one of the three disks on http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ ... :-) Ok- so I guess there's no way to install it to a USB drive from the Full Cd?? Is The above URL mentioned on the Freedisk.org site? I forgot the URL, I think Mark had some docs about Dell tools for XP which can install FreeDOS to USB... But I found something else in my archive: Last september, Jari Turkia made USB boot images with FreeDOS 1.0 ... Enjoy :-) http://opensource.contentbakery.fi/freedos/FreeDOS%201.0%20bare_USB.img.bz2 http://opensource.contentbakery.fi/freedos/FreeDOS%201.0_USB.img.bz2 opensource.contentbakery.fi/freedos/fdfullcd%20JaTu-version%20w%20USB-drivers.iso.bz2 Eric PS: Of course 1.0 is quite old compared to the Rugxulo distro ;-) What is the rugulo distro?
