Writing to MSRs? Do you really think that's what Quentin did? I somehow doubt it. He seems to have used stock (unmodified) FD kernel 2040 here. Quick workaround: can't you install from floppy? (Perhaps USB floppy drive?) Just to get the raw basics, then xcopy over extra stuff, if needed. Actually, you don't need full FreeDOS, just update the kernel (and other utils, if needed). But even then I doubt too much changed between kernel 2040 and now. Or are you saying it won't write any files? You can't modify anything? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
