Hi Gabriel, if I have to guess, then buildall does the following: It compiles several different types of FreeDOS kernel, for example with and without FAT32 support. Each kernel is just a single binary which you can rename to kernel.sys, then use SYS or similar tools to install it to a FAT dri

Hi Jerome, Trevor, Mateusz etc. :-) Thanks for explaining how to turn 386 installs into 8086 ones! I hope the CPU detection is now working, so the installer will create an 8086 install when used on 8086 systems? Does the installer have an option to manually select an 8086 compatible install r

OK I misunderstood your message, I thought that you just copied kernel to sd card, but I see that you overwrote it into prepared „floppy set”. Piotr ——— Sent from PDP-11 > Wiadomość napisana przez Trevor Campbell via Freedos-user > w dniu 08.08.2024, o godz. 12:50: > >  > I don't know. I h

I don't know. I have no experience with FreeDOS before this, but I think the FloppyEdition installs only the 8086 compatible files when you run "setup adv 8086"  and just copies the the wrong kernel by mistake. Trevor On 8/8/24 19:57, Nutilius via Freedos-user wrote: What about freecom? Is it
