I found Rufus to be the best option for creating a bootable usb drive for
freeDOS in all my trials.
Booting to usb on any system can be a challenge.
I know on one laptop we have it is a Windows 10 (originally Windows 8) it
absolutely refuses to boot into ANY usb unless we remove the hard drive.
On the download page, try gettin the floppy version. On real hardware ya
may need to use an external drive, or built-in cdrom/drdrom drive if one is
available. Also ya need to go in your bios and make sure that the usb is
setup as your first boot item. Find the key for your bot options, i

There is a program called HWInfo for DOS that may be what ya lookin for.
It gives alot of info on your hardware. Unless I a, mistaken, it is
freeware. One thing, though is under freedos (on my system) it reports I
am runnin under win95/OS/2, or DOS Mode. Still works fine. Also gives a
warning
For most used programs I would ad an alias in the fdauto.bat file so far
this has worked perfectly and doesn’t fill up the path line.
Fdimples just installs software anddoesn’t add them to any path or
anything. If I am wrong someone can correct me.

Thanks to jerome I believe the issue was tryin to install over the old copy
since i fprmated the drive before the install this time and it worked. I
probably should have tried that before sendin out the long message. My

One issue I find alot when tryin to install FreeDos is that it would go
most of the way through the install then without any reason and no
explanation as to why, it just stops and says there is a problem so reboot
or exit.
I have FD in three locations. Second drive in my old desktop, usb drive,
does anyone have any experience with this card in FreeDOS?
it will initialize the card and show the info but when I use aptest or any
program/game with sound it fails?
Aptest reports it cannot find a legacy device.
fdauto:
set sndscape=c:\util\audiopci
set blaster=a220 i5 d1 t2

I bought a card that says 1370 on it and when I load it in FreeDOS with
these commands in fdauto:
SET SNDSCCAPE=C:\UTIL\EAPCI
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T2
@CALL C:\UTIL\EAPCI\APINIT.COM
I get this:
AudioPCI @ Port EF00 IRQ10
I program in FreeDOS all the time using a BASIC languaage called
FreeBASIC. It is a great language and a great community along with it.
FreBASIC is a free language currently at Version 1.10.

I think there may be a bit of confusion we need to let new DOS users aware
of, and that is DOS is a "Text-Mode" system and not graphical like Windows,
Linux, MacOS, etc.
DOS by nature is only text (although graphics is possible)
Maybe make a distinction between "Text Resolution" and
