Hello all,
I can do the development. I have time and like programming (i have an own
OS "bird os"...yes i like birds). If that was the question.
But my question is, why should you switch tot 32-bit?
It have a lot features But MS-DOS is and was 16-bit. If we switch to 32-bit
do you get Windows ra

Exactly.

I did some testing in VirtualBox, and yes the current kernel does not work
in Windows 3.1 enhanced mode (you must use my 0xDC kernel [see FDOS project
on SF], but I couldn't get the DOS boxes to work anymore).
I will have to do some checking as I expected either to work. When running
Windows 3.x,
Correction... FreeDOS 1.2. Not 2.0.

My thought is: who shall do the development? There is no one around that
would spend the time to develop this.

Agreed, that was my exact line of thinking.
However, the folks here seem to have come to the conclusion that FreeDOS
will not evolve into the 32-bit realm.

I was re-reading some emails and I think I have an idea of how this would work.
The goal is existing compatibility so that older DOS applications will run.
Obviously, moving to 32-bit will eliminate most of the older processors,
HOWEVER. by implementing a Windows 9x like model and build a 32-bi
Hi,
If I were building the FreeDOS distribution, the only thing that would be
included as a part of the official FreeDOS install would be the components that
make up the OS depending on the MS/PC DOS version distribution we wanted to
emulate.
I would also supply these files as one complete ZIP
I agree to exclude it.

Hi,
So for the pure fun of it, I decided to install Windows 3.11 on FreeDOS knowing
full well how well it would work. (Cue laugh track)
I don’t know how far anyone has gotten with this process but so far what I have
found is that FreeDOS (unlike MS-DOS) in it’s default configuration ends up in
Although it is freeware, source code for NDN appears to be unavailable.
Given this project's push towards 100% open software, I am inclined to
exclude it from the FreeDOS 2.0 image.
Any thoughts?
