Okay I have currently installed Windows 98SE a very buggy installation (of
course). My problem is I want to install and use freedos in a dualboot
system. I tried System Commander by VCOM but I don't think it worked, it
seemed to freeze whenever trying to load FreeDOS.
I looked on the X drive whe
This is the total record of what all was wrong with my computer at the time
I wrote my previous post:
Both hard drive bootsectors contained 512 root dir entries. Not 0, like
they are supposed to. 512.
FreeDOS bootsectors indicated that the machine should check the master boot
record for which ha
So in that case, the FAT1x root dir entries issue should NOT break FreeDOS
booting anymore?
I really hope so.:)

Okay this one I can help you with.
Unfortunately, nVidia's new SoundStorm system on their nForce2 Motherboards,
while being the most kickass thing I've ever worked with, does not seem to
provide any form of DOS drivers. What's worse, because it's part of the
chipset it requires the unified driver
Hey Eric.
Ummm from what I know of these boards (the nVidia's nForce2 line of chipsets

processing system, all hardware based (not very simple unfortunately) with
the chipsets output going out to the ALC650, a common combinatio

Okay, I've got an image (4*1.44 MB) that I'm using for a boot disk image.
Booting the image is not a problem (memdisk from an isolinux module in

the problem is fdxms and xmsdsk.
I've got xmsdsk set up to make a 32 MB RAMdis

First, look into the driver CD that the motherboard manufacturer gave you.
Not just the autorun, but right click on the cd and open it, go through and
see if there's a dos directory or something containing dos drivers.
If not, look into your hardware contents in system. Probably device listing,

Another program to use is throttle. Most slowdown programs are software
based.
Throttle uses bios and hardware calls to actually downclock the CPU. (Or so
they claim).
You have to make sure to use throttle again later to fix the numbers back.
This doesn't work much past 1.2 g... but below that
Most of the K6-2 boards I know of are good for boot on CD, if a bit shaky
with a few CD's. CD-R's I used to have a little trouble with occasionally
but...
Anyhow, The K6-2's were identical boards nearly to the P2's, Socket7, so...
shoudln't be any different.

Personally I use VC++ for all my projects, then compile htem on teh correct

Lucas Pedrosa asked me about this today, so I've decided to look into it.
For Beta9 PR4, we had a zip file containing the base package files, exes,
kernel, and such. He used it to update his previous install to B9Pr4 value.
We need one for PR5.
Thanks a LOT Bernd. I'd say that there should be a way to post only the
'changes' to the CD... I //know// there's a program that lets one change a
file based on changes to the new file...
I'm rambling. Thanks anyhow.

In simple terms this is the main program the computer runs. As far as any
