So one solution is to update FDAPM. The other is to update Bochs: > For running vanilla FreeDOS 1.0, e.g., `fdbasecd.iso' on Win32 > I made special Bochs 2.3 replacement binaries available at > <http://www.bttr-software.de/misc/bx23fdos.zip>. Here is some extra information about your current zip: $ zipinfo bx23fdos.zip Archive: bx23fdos.zip 1014711 bytes 3 files -rwxa-- 2.3 ntf 458752 b- defX 27-Jun-07 15:13 bochs.exe -rwxa-- 2.3 ntf 561664 b- defX 27-Jun-07 15:27 bochsdbg.exe -rw-a-- 2.3 ntf 186 t- defX 27-Jun-07 16:16 README 3 files, 1020602 bytes uncompressed, 1014407 bytes compressed: 0.6% The readme tells that the zip only contains the exe files, so you need a working Bochs first before you can update by replacing only the exe files.
