Re: [Freedos-devel] V8Power Tools for DOS

I tried it out a while ago.The only question I had about it was this:why does it take five minutes making statements such as Grabbing keys...,Revving engine,etc.Other than that,I found it useful. On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 1:28 PM, Jim Hall jh...@freedos.org wrote: I'm sharing this for Jerome.

I remember my first time using a text terminal (MS-DOS).This was when I was just getting into computer programming,and I was new to the computer field.I booted my computer from a USB floppy (A floppy port that was a USB).I typed help.It gave the usual Bad command or filename: 'help'.I poked around

Should we make FreeDOS able to install from a usb?It seems hardwired to install from the CD.Perhaps this should be an added update to the 1.2 CD. On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 11:44 AM, Ralf Quint freedos...@gmail.com wrote: On 6/24/2015 11:07 AM, Mercury Thirteen wrote: Also, also (lol) I am not
