I think I'm using the stable kernel instead of the unstable one. I get an error that says essentially unload the protected mode software and try again when windows tries to start.
Are people taking out the smartdrive stuff or simply adding a menu entry and if someone wants windows loading it? BTW: I found out that curl can load a very large file without crashing on my system, but using it doesn't make fdupdate work. Are there special tricks I need to know about to get Windows 3.1 running on freedos? Do only older versions of Windows work? I picked up a copy of Windows 3.1 from a web site that specializes in abandonware. It passed clam antivirus scans no problem. I wish Microsoft would open source Windows 3.x and allow the open source community to fix it instead of trying to work around it's problems. What on a typical freedos system runs in protected mode? Maybe Windows 3.1 is stupid and it thinks the system is in protected mode? When I installed Windows 3.1, it seemed to start up okay. I just can't get it back up is all. There should be a law for abandonware that says you must open source it if you are not going to sell or support it anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
