Hi, the current status for FreeDOS 1.3 RC4:
A) cannot install from CD on 486 due to low cache or low memory => solution
is to install on Pentium, then put the drive in 486

Hi, Eric. Yes I agree.
Guys, I built regular 486DX2 66Mhz. I would not be that guy and put PCI
soundcard in that machine. Of course I have ISA soundcard. I have even VLB
slot, but I use TSENG 4000/W32p for ISA. In PCI, there is only Realtek NIC
with XT-IDE EEPROM.
What did I solve:
A) 486DX2 66Mh
Please please I solved sound. I shared only experience. Please focus on cd

I told u I can install from cd. So list is working. Only launching game

Phil has even FreeDOS starter pack, but it is for FreeDOS 1.2. I tried it.

The floppy disc of Windows 98 contains about 4 different CD-ROM drivers. I

These are the results:
1) UDVD2 + SHSUCDX = NOT WORKING
2) OAKCDROM + SHSUCDX = WORK

I have tested Quake 1 with audiocd on UDVD2 in the current Freedos RC and
can confirm it is working with UDVD2 perfectly. The common mistake some
users make is that upon fresh install, some sound card drivers have CD
audio muted and they need to run sb16set (mixer utility) to set up the
volume. In
physical copy audio is properly routed on real hardware.

Hi Eric, good question! From what I understand, he cannot boot SATA drive
because BIOS does not see SATA driver during boot prompt due to add-on
controller card. If not, then my answer was not correct.

I use DOSBOX-X and you can notice they use completely different fonts and
GUI. I think they use native Windows API, because the text looks like
anti-aliased native app using HiDPI. Therefore this is something completely
separate from DOS and it is Windows based font rendering feature. But that
