It is text based, I have it on a 2G, FAT16 at the front of the HDD that also holds DOS. That is the only primary, the rest of the drive is logical, including W7. OSS boots everything very well. I have the later version of OSS which is a GUI, it works, but I don't care for it. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] BM cannot boot FD 1.2
Hello Ray, What about the KERNEL location in the tree? Prior to 1.2 it was in the root, now it is in FDOS\BIN. If I run SYS C: from a 1.1 Floppy, then copy 1.2 KRNEL386, as KERNEL, over the 1.1 KERNEL, should that leave me with the 1.2 kernel where it belongs on the drive? Huh? I would expect there to be a kernel.sys or fdkernel.sys in the root directory of the new FreeDOS 1.2 partition. Thank you! ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
