Re: [Freedos-user] Games - and DOS installation

Yeah, I don't think anyone in the FreeDOS project has ever aimed for it to be a replacement to Windows/Mac/Linux. That's like comparing a wheelbarrow to an SUV. FreeDOS is a niche OS for a niche market, but it's a very good one at that. Corbin On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 8:36

Is there a possibility FreeDOS could install the GRUB manager by default on PCs with multiple partitions? Or even go a step further and try to detect an existing GRUB installation, and adding it's own menu item to it? Corbin On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 7:05 AM, Don Flowers wrote:

Re: [Freedos-user] Installation as standalone system

I would think FreeDOS would work fine on any PC with legacy boot enabled, but extra stuff like USB, sound, and/or networking might need extra drivers that might not be available. Corbin On Feb 3, 2016 12:57 PM, "Wayne Dernoncourt" wrote: > I'm planning to install Free-DOS on a

It looks much better, but the layout seems to be a bit odd on mobile (see http://imgur.com/oi2voVx). I have some free time later today, I could make a snippet of CSS to make it a bit more responsive/fluid for smaller screens. Sent using CloudMagic On Thu, Dec 18, 2014 at 11:04 PM, Jim Hall

Re: [Freedos-user] For what architectures is FreeDOS designed?

FreeDOS itself and all the programs for it is 16-bit. FreeDOS is designed to run on Intel 386-compatible CPUs and above, but I think it can run on 286 and some even below that. Sent using CloudMagic On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 2:58 PM, Dennis Holierhoek dennis...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello everybody,I
