Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS

I did some further testing. E2PART does report ext3 partitions as ext2. But e2ls and e2cp work fine with ext3 partitions anyway. I had no luck with ext4 though. AFAIK ext3 partitions can be accessed from programs that only support ext2 since the main difference between these file systems is

Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS

In regards to volumes,whenever I try installing FreeDOS on my SSD (On my laptop),I always get this when it boots into the drive: ?AL?..12 It repeats when is pressed.I recently installed FreeDOS on it,removing linux.I think GRUB may still be in the SDD's MBR,because the GRUB screen flashes for a

Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS

Jayden, I do not know how your question relates to ext file systems. However, I gave up on Grub plus DOS after I locked myself out from my PC. I made a mistake in the Grub configuration and I could not boot the PC at all any more. By the way, Barry Kauler(PuppyLinux) reported the same problem

Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS

I think mmeeks/ext2tools is a good find, it should be easier to debug this than to write something from scratch. Once done, you could port newer versions of ext2tools to DOS based on this. This would bring ext3/ext4 support to DOS. > Hi, > > Not much else to report here. I assume this means

Re: [Freedos-devel] XFTOOLS - exFAT access a la LTOOLS

I did compile mmeeks/ext2tools and they seem to work doing a quick test. Instructions for compiling: - download a zip archive from github and unpack into ext2tools (rename ext2tools-master) - use djgpp (set the required environment variables etc.) patch the mmeeks/ext2tools sources a bit: - add

Hi Georg, > I gave up on Grub plus DOS after I locked myself out from my PC. The usual way to fix this is to boot e.g. Linux from CD to edit the GRUB config and/or to reinstall the GRUB binary. There also is a limited interactive feature in GRUB, but it usually is not convenient at all to

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDINST

Could you confirm please that these tests were performed using the latest version of both the all_cd.iso and fdinst? The 'out of memory' error you report on fbc.zip makes me think you used an old all_cd.iso file. This was an error I spotted, too, and it was due to the fact that the sole file
