Re: [Freedos-devel] USB Image Capacity

I tried uploading an attachment with the source code (about 120k) but the mailing list thought it was too big and rejected it. I'm not willing to host code snippets like this on my web site, so was wondering if someone else is willing to do it? I'll try uploading the message again with a link i

Re: [Freedos-devel] USB Image Capacity

I would. It's in assembly rather than C, though. I'll extrapolate the relevant parts into a small file and upload them in the next few days. Hi Bret, > I also have a USB disk set up with GPT instead of MBR with some > DOS-compatible partitions (FAT12/16/32) and others as non-DOS compatible > (N

Re: [Freedos-devel] USB Image Capacity

I always really appreciate the Raspberry Pi foundation's auto-resize capability for Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS. On boot, during kernel boot up, it auto grows the filesystem to match the SD card. So maybe ship the small image and then make the resize batch file a menu item? On Fri, May 14, 2021 at

[Freedos-devel] USB Image Capacity

Hello Everyone, As you may have noticed in RC4, we decided to reduce the size of the LiteUSB stick. Since that edition only contains BASE, it can be squeezed onto a 16mb flash drive or memory car with about 0.5mb of free space leftover. Those who need to drop some files on a flash drive can use
