Hi!

I have a question about the fdfullcd.iso. It's a bit unclear for me...

The menu:
1. Install to harddisk using FreeDOS SETUP (default)
2. FreeDOS Safe Mode  (don't load any drivers)
3. FreeDOS Live CD with HIMEM + EMM386
4. FreeDOS Live CD with HIMEM only
5. FreeDOS Live CD only

In A:\config.sys:
345?!DEVICEHIGH=A:\DRIVER\XCDROM.SYS /D:FDCD0000

In A:\freedos\fdauto.bat:
for %%X in ( 3 4 5 ) do if "%config%"=="%%X" goto livecd (this will skip
CD-ROM auto detection)

Menu entry 2 implicates that no drivers (also not CD-ROM drivers) will
be load. Menu entrys 3, 4 and 5 implicate that drivers (also including
CD-ROM drivers) will be load, well but it loads only XCDROM.SYS but not
the others, why?

While booting menu entry 3, 4, 5 only the CD-ROM driver in config.sys
will be load. Only in case of menu entry 1 the auto detection for the
CD-ROM drivers will be used, it will probe again XCDROM.SYS after
eltorito.sys.

Why isn't this CD-ROM auto detection used for menu entry 1, 3,4 and 5?

Is this behavior explicitly wanted?

best regards,
-mr
