Hi Rugxulo,
I still have DJGPP 2.04 installed plus gcc 4.5.3 and compiled it with that.
Lucid Puppy most probably uses ext4 and I assume that is the problem.

I used to be sceptical about Github but once you have used it it turns out
to be quite handy.
So I made a fork of the mmeeks/ext2tools project and did my changes plus
wrote new documentation in the readme file.
You will find the project here:

Jayden,
I do not know how your question relates to ext file systems. However,
I gave up on Grub plus DOS after I locked myself out from my PC. I made a
mistake in the Grub configuration and I could not boot the PC at all any
more. By the way, Barry Kauler(PuppyLinux) reported the same problem s
I did some further testing. E2PART does report ext3 partitions as ext2. But
e2ls and e2cp work fine with ext3 partitions anyway. I had no luck with ext4
though.
AFAIK ext3 partitions can be accessed from programs that only support ext2

I did compile mmeeks/ext2tools and they seem to work doing a quick test.
Instructions for compiling:

- use djgpp (set the required environment variables etc.)

I think mmeeks/ext2tools is a good find, it should be easier to debug this
than to write something from scratch. Once done, you could port newer
versions of ext2tools to DOS based on this. This would bring ext3/ext4
support to DOS.

Hi Eric,
I would go for your third alternative and try to map e.g. an ext2 formatted
disk to a FAT32 disk for DOS. This has some problems which you can observe
with the utilities which make an ext2 disk available for Windows. It could
be done within a single block device driver and you could th
I want to second Bret and point out that MS-DOS supports to write a block
device driver that allows DOS to access a non-FAT disk. Let me cite a few
explanations in books I have:

If you set the device attribute word in the device driver header (bit 13) to
flag a non-IBM disk (zero), you can access any disk or tape if the block
device driver is written to support that. DOS will just specify the logical

The reason for a new file system is to support larger disks and long filenames.
To avoid legal problems, why not just use ext3 as Linux does? Very few DOS
applications (apart from some DOS utilities) will care how the data is stored
on disk. And maybe there is already an old ext driver for DOS w
I ported a graphical IDE to DOS last year:

Maybe you can use that and extend it for your purposes.

I observed that 7zip provides a better compression than ZIP. The CD image of

half of that. See here:

You could write a 64bit DOS extender but you would also have to change e.g.

If you have several DOSEMUs running in parallel, these cannot communicate.
Linux, however, allows one process to spawn another process and then there is
pipe() to have these processes communicate.

Roberto is right, the lack of drivers is a major problem for DOS now. Even
most printers cannot be used with DOS anymore since you cannot just send
plain ASCII text to them. Either the transmission is compressed or it is a

the autoexec.bat on my Live-CD does "devload usbdisk.sys" and then

So there are apparently no "redirector (for example, *CDEX) CDS entries"

In my opinion the CD should be easily usable by first-time FreeDOS users and
