Hi, You have to subscribe to this list, to be able to post? Ok, I did so and sent my email again...
I try to install Freedos on a P3-800, Asus Cubx board, Intel i440BX chip, 384MB of RAM. And I am frustrated by now. :( I got about 30 crashes. I was able to solve some of them, but... If the install is that instable, what about the system? Is it wise to uses freedos 1.0 for production environment? May I use FAT32 for primary partition? else the drive will already be heavily loaded after installation... Crashes for example - on installation bootup freecom loading crashes, if drive C is not formatted. which prevents formatting... - the floppy created from the installation menu does not boot at all (3 dots is all i get) - installation in oracle virtualbox seems not to be able to load the network driver correctly. which hardware should I select in the VB config? - installation crashes with some memory error while installing some packages... Yes, I did successfully run memtest and harddrive tests. Do you have any idea how to successfully install Freedos? Should I try the 1.1 installer? But the 1.1 iso image does not contain all packages? Is there something like a package manager, you may invoke after successfull installation? In this case, I might try a minimal installation, and install the other packages in several iterations... thank you very much :) JPT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
