Hi All: OK, I'm confused. I want to try to get NTFS4DOS working from a bootable CD and loaded into high memory (using DEVICEHIGH). My first attempt was a failure and resulted in an "out of memory" error. I forget the exact message.
I sent an e-mail to the list asking if anyone has done this, but didn't get any responses. :-( There have been lots of e-mails about debugging problems with loading programs (and drivers I suppose) high and various options to EMM386 like MEMCHECK which I intend to try. I need to put a complete FreeDOS environment on the floppy. I think I need the newest versions of EMM386 and HIMEM.SYS to be on the safe side. Do I need a new kernel or can I use the "stock" one? (I mean the one from Beta9SR1 (either the installation CD or the ODIN distribution). I can get a reasonable config.sys/autoexec.bat from my hard disk installation, since the ones on ODIN are not useful. Other than the new EMM386 and HIMEM, and possibly a new kernel, should I update anything else (command.com? FORMAT, SYS, something else...)? Thanks. I know FreeDOS hasn't done a stable release yet, but it really is an amazing achievement and very useable. And, it is the only one of the DOS variants I've found that's explicitely redistributeable. I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into FreeDOS.
