What to do if I don't have a physical floppy or physical floppy drive

on its own. You will have to do it on purpose. Until you do
Sorry I'm late. I think may ask an additional [Y/N] question about
this access before doing it. Also, I sincerely hope there still will
be a LiveFloppy in addition to LiveCD - this way I'll still be able to
use FreeDOS virtual floppy as a part of coreboot opensource BIOS. And,

Hi everybody,
Thank you for providing your feedback on this quick poll.
Examining the results of the polls (a couple places dedicated to FreeDOS),
it is obvious how most of the community feels about this subject. I did not do
an actual tally of all of the results. The percentages bellow are jus
No, allow access to the internal hard drive.
If I'm booting into a live environment, it's usually to do some sort of
troubleshooting. Disabling the ability to read the HDD would defeat the

Hello Jerome,
Actually I am also curious to know what mechanism you will be using to
limit access to internal hard drives. (I suppose it should be possible
to use LASTDRIVE= in a config.sys file to make the hard drives invisible
from DOS's view. But the hard drives will most likely still show

Hello Jerome,
Yes. Prevent access to internal hard drive.
No. Allow access to internal hard drive.
Neither. Instead, include in boot menu to select either. People have been

Hi,
I’m just looking to do quick poll on you thoughts and opinion.
When FreeDOS 1.3 is booted as a Live environment from the CD-ROM, should it be
permitted access to any internal hard drive(s)?
