Re: [Freedos-user] Anyone ever used the Starnet X server?

2004-08-04 Thread Paul Berger
My solution has been to run DOSVNC (I did this a couple years ago) and setup Xvnc to run from inetd and setup gdm on my linux server. Depending on what port I used I would get different resolutions. DOSVNC is available from http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/nino/dosvnc.html I can probably find th

Lucho, Thanks for those bootsectors. :) One quick question -- I have a Windows XP startup disk, and since that startup disk can be used to invoke ntldr and show the usual boot options menu, is it possible that I can use whatever bootsectors are there on the floppy and write those to my C: drive?

Rakhesh, here's another one - my Windows 2003 bootsector I extracted using "BOOTSECT 0 -P -R BSW2K3.BIN" - may it work for you. Write it using "BOOTSECT 0 -P -W BSW2K3.BIN". Good luck! BSW2K3.BIN Description: application/macbinary
