Re: [Freedos-user] Question Regarding FreeDOS's fdisk

Good news, everyone! FreeDOS's Free FDISK does support multiple primary partitions! I finally did a little test of what that VOGONS member laid out (using Free FDISK that ships with FreeDOS), and man it is magical compared to the original FDISK provided by Microsoft. It correctly detects the size

Hi everyone, My Ethernet adapter didn't have a proper DOS driver, so I wrote one. It is compatible with the same PCI devices as Linux's e100 kernel module. It is available at gopher://sdf.org/1/users/sethsimon/e100pkt/ and is released under the GNU GPLv3. This should be treated as alpha software
