Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI, updated

[Louis Santillan]

I'd like to make a minor suggestion here.

When packaging up USB image to a zip file, leave off directory path to the
image.

Thanks,

Ah, sorry. Didn't realize it was in there. Will do.

[Freedos-devel] FDI updated.

[Jerome E. Shidel Jr.]

Thanks to Maarten, I found out that there was a compatibility issue in 
VirtualBox 
with the 186+ High Precision Interrupt Timer used by the V8Power Tool vdelay 
utility.

The delay is used to prevent messages from flicker on/off the screen and having 
a user go “what did that say?” 

Basically, using the timer would just cause the Installer to freeze.

Anyhow, the compatibility issue in vdelay has been resolved.

So even no no changes were made to FDI, there is a new FDI Preview 9 release 
to resolve the VirtualBox compatibility issue available at 
http://up.lod.bz/FDI/latest

[Freedos-devel] FDI updated

[Jerome E. Shidel Jr.]

Just released new FDI boot image.

http://up.lod.bz/FDI/latest 

Reduced some complexity and slight performance improvement.
(add option to V8Power Tools vprogres program to calculate percentage internally
the latest version is included in the FDI image and is also available at
http://up.lod.bz/V8Power/Latest  )

Reduced required free environment space a little. FreeCOM was having an
issue providing enough free env space when installer was launched manually.

Added Dutch and German translations to there mostly completed current state. 
(Dutch not yet added to Language Prompting Screen)

Made new autoexec creation a little more dynamic to support automatic insertion
of language codepage settings and inclusion of language specific welcome 
messages.

FDI, now sets Installation target drive to root directory before exit. 
Preventing need
to do CD \ when exiting installer after installation and examining target drive.

Maybe tomorrow:

Probably, I will update the mkFDI.bat utility (The thing that builds the boot 
image
from scratch) to include the different language welcome messages at startup.

Maybe, add automatic codepage switching if appropriate %LANG%\SETLANG.BAT file
is available for the Language.

Add Dutch to Language Selection screen.

Push new FDI boot image to server.

Enjoy Christmas Eve dinner at my relatives.

Get a good night sleep waiting for Santa Claus. 
Hope he brings me that Ferrari or even a Tesla. I’m not picky.

:-)
