Re: [Freedos-user] CTMouse Buttons programming?

What exactly does the EVE.EXE program do? It's possible that you just don't have the correct options set up in MOUSKEYS (or EVE). Choose to be safer online. Opt-in to Cyber Safety with NortonLifeLock. Plans starting as low as $6.95 per

Re: [Freedos-user] FDNet package license problems

We previously had notes in the wiki about questionable licenses in the FDNet package, and it was marked Yellow ("Maybe") in the wiki for FreeDOS 1.3. So I think it's a good idea to pull FDNet for now. I've updated the wiki to reflect that. http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Releases/1.3/Packa

Jerome, In the grand scheme of things it is not a big deal and it has been wrong for years. Thanks for taking care of it. If it does remain then Rugxulo should consider updating the parts of mTCP (and anything else) that was repackaged for use in FDNet. Mike On Sat, Apr 10, 2021 at 3:52 PM Je

Re: [Freedos-user] Using a USB stick and an optical drive

Hi, Ok, one more thing you can try is to start a shell (command window) as aministrator (important) and then run the exe from there. If that just fails silently then you probably have the wrong bios file. I checked your previous msg again, and it sounds like you have not yet managed to boot Freed

Dear Tomas Thanks for the reminder. Yes. After installation of 7 from DVD I did not make a user account, nor set a password for the default admin account. The laptop is not connected to the internet. I copied the bios file from my PC to the laptop via the memory stick, which only had that fil

Dear All OK, and thanks to all. I have now read the Dell website about updating from within Linux and noted the fact that I should use FreeDOS base 1.0 etc. I should just say this laptop is about 11 years old and the F12 boot option does not include updating the BIOS. What come as a surprise i
