Shane Land is rather embarressed to announce updates to OpenGEM Release

Hi Mark,
You can install FreeDOS on a new computer and have it dual-boot
with Windows XP as well. This doesn't harm the WindowsXP
installation at all and doesn't require re-installing
WindowsXP.
Hehe, I'm sure this is useful for some folks, but for me it would be
like sacrilege!

Hi Mark,
OK, I am AMAZED at Datapol's technical support. I sent them
the boot floppy and received a patched version of NTFS4DOS
Sounds great, but where can we get the "patched" version? I mean will it
be made available by Datapol?

Hi Eric,
Hi, I want to make TUNS turn on automatically in some cases.
The purpose of the TUNS option is to allocate stacks in low
DOS RAM because, for unknown reason, SCSI BIOSes freak out
(timeouts...) if you call some functions with the stack being
located in an UMB.
Interesting. When I was
Hi, I think by "as if they were IDE drives", you mean that there
is INT13 support. Actually INT13 is the only cached interface.
The others may be present at the same time, but the cache does
not touch them. DOS does not normally use them either, unless you
use a driver like ASPIDISK to create a dr

Hi!
After installing FreeDOS from the CD-ROM, you can do several useful
things not available from
the original FreeDOS CD-ROM. You can update the kernel to the latest
unstable kernel via wget
by typing 'krnlupdt' at the command prompt if wget is installed.
Wow! Cool!

By the way, I am currently working on a program which will simplify
this, but it doesn't do anything useful at the moment.

PS: In the software list i found: LFNDOS
I don't think, that it is useable anymore. I would only have DOSLFN
included.
LFNDOS isn't included.
Not on your CD - but on freedos.org.

Some ideas I have for improvement are allowing the user to select from
a list of crynwr drivers, and a bootup logo after installation to hard

bootup logo, please send it to me (preferrably in 320x200, GIF87

beyond the 1024 cylinders that CHS can reach! WinXP seems

Good evening, all:
I screwed up my analysis of the MBR files badly. I apologize for
wasting your time.
I do not understand what happened, but the MBR does not appear
to have been modified. It may be something to do with a restart
versus a cold reboot. I will test that tomorrow evening.
