Having kernel.sys and command.com are the most minimal way to start FreeDOS I know.
I've successfully managed to find a configurations of parameters where FreeDOS is crashing before I can use the command prompt. The reason for the freeze couldn't be detected just by describing the parameters (old thread on mailing list). It can be only reproduced using the same parameters (a lot effort). Long story... Do you have a debug version of kernel.sys and command.com? Versions of these files which will dump as much as internal details as possible. Perhaps when I paste the results the bug can be found and fixed. -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
