Moikka Leke [and Finnish-for-"and" :-)] Mika! The fdos1440.img file is only meant for people who cannot boot from CD-ROM. So you have to use it in combination with the CD-ROM. Alternatively, use FreeDOS ODIN, which is a distro which packs all the best on a single floppy.
HINT: I am working on an improved THREE floppy distro. Who wants to help? The first floppy contains the main part, the second contains bigger programs and the tools which you need to change the first floppy into another language. The third floppy is simply a ZIP of the whole DOC directory. (The HELP directory is on the second floppy and the HTMLHELP even fits on the first floppy!) If you get a "FAT12" error message for a FAT32 drive, then you probably forgot to FORMAT that drive. FreeDOS kernel makes unformatted drives look like FAT12, it seems (DR DOS does it in similar way, only MS DOS makes unformatted drive look like such). I need an hint from the KERNEL experts to make WHICHFAT distingusish FAT12 from UNFORMATTED. Thanks! And I do not want to read the boot sector from disk, there must be another way. A 486DX with 12MB RAM and 620MB disk is a nice choice for FreeDOS :-). Eric PS: FAT32 support limits right now are... - due to a bug, REN in a FAT32 root directory fails - you cannot boot from the second harddisk from FAT32 even if your BIOS would allow that (SYS bug) - FreeDOS FORMAT can create FAT32 which are incompatible to Windows in some cases - there is no support for long file names (hardly any, that is) but FAT32 and long file names are actually two completely different things! PPS: Make sure to put SWITCHES=/E in your (fd)config,sys file, to suppress a feature which often causes incompatibilities. It is EBDA movement, similar to MS EMM386 NOMOVEXBDA story. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
