On an unconditional format I always command: Format A: /F:1440 /U - but I still get the error way too often. On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 10:59 AM, Don Flowers donr...@gmail.com wrote: I have gotten that critical error so often that I have abandoned FreeDOS format. It happens most often

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS diskette cache

Could this be the cause of so many diskette formatting failures in FreeDOS? I have to resort to either booting in Compaq DOS 3.31 or using 3rd party formatting tools such as FMT or Nformat. On Mon, May 25, 2015 at 3:26 AM, Mateusz Viste mate...@viste.fr wrote: Hello group, I am playing a bit

Perhaps a more updated alternative to opengem would be XFDOS I have tried it and found it be quite an impressive interface and its word processor alone is worth giving it a try. http://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/news/2013/04/xfdos-graphical-freedos-distribution/ On Sat, Aug 22, 2015 at 2:27 AM,

Re: [Freedos-user] Sound or Internet - Which would you rather have?

Yeah, I should have mentioned that my PC has an onboard Intel 82567LM-3 for which there seems to be no DOS option for connectivity and the sound is HD and unrecognisableed by either MPXPlay or Mplayer, I have at least one game that will throw sound out the onboard speaker (Empong). As for buying

[Freedos-user] Sound or Internet - Which would you rather have?

I have only one PCI slot on my PC. I have gone back and forth between a sound card and an ethernet card and cannot make up my mind which is the better option to have. I am not a gamer so no sound is not a deal breaker. I like having the option to use FDNPKG direct from ibiblio, and connecting to

I have been reinstalling FreeDOS and have my NIC card setup, I have a working connection (am writing this from my DILLODOS browser) but cannot get a download from FDNPKG. I can download to my HD and then install but FDNPKG is stalling. And by the way, if anyone doesn't know yet, Matesuz changed

Re: [Freedos-user] question ISO/DATA

When you are making the iso what kind of bootable image are you using? For a blank CD, I use FDOEM.144 from here: http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/ Then I add the drivers for the PC I want to be able to boot since so many new PCs require different various drivers to boot into a DOS environment.

Yes it is possible by various methods. Rufus is one. If perchance you have a linux installation then you can download the iso and copy it to a flash drive via the dd method. I have also used the following method: http://www.chtaube.eu/computers/freedos/bootable-usb/ You can download the iso and

I have been able to clone a hd image to cd, from FreeDOS but have not been successful in actually burning a cdimage to a cd. Why not just zip an installation and copy that to a cd? Then you can use a burner such as WinIso or K3B, use the boot image from the all_cd or another FreeDOS iso (make sure
