If VMSMOUNT can safely abort on ancient hardware then it would be a plus. All the rest can easily stay 586+, perhaps even 686+. I'm not sure about if it's possible to load VMSMOUNT in UMBs, or how the driveletter assignment algorythm works exactly: * use requested driveletter * if occupied, use first *next* available driveletter * if occupied, use earliest available driveletter (with the risk of mounting at drive C: ). > My interest is in doing a virtual hard drive or file system (not decided > yet) using the network redirector interface.

Along the likes of iPXE's SAN-booting I guess, but without requirements of actually downloading or booting the ISO, nor copying it to memory (MEMDISK). > Regards, > Mike I'm still not sure how to get base directory names of drives and shares under standard COMMAND.COM. Perhaps time for 4DOS after all :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
