Hi! Today I was trying to install sarge on an old machine, it doesn't boot from cd, so I said I'd use etherboot from a floppy, and when that didn't work even after adding another network card I sai'd, I'd boot from DOS and launch the install from the cd.
Well, I have realised that we've lost all DOS compatibility, we don't have the install.bat or boot.bat that we used to have, that could easily be added, but we don't have loadlin.exe on the cd (wasn't there on beta1 cds already), these two problems could be easily solved if one gets loadlin and the .bat file into the DOS floppy he is using, but I think we should put this on our cds, what does people think about this? Currently there is another problem, as cds are no longer usable under DOS, I believe this is a bug caused by the JTE patch to mkisofs, Steve is going to take a look at this when he has some time, in the meanwhile I have changed config so that the images which are not jigdoed (netinst and businesscard) are produced using a non JTE patched version of mkisofs, so they should start working in DOS again, only missing the bat and the loadlin which is people agrees, I would inmediately add. Well, that's all for the DOS support. Regards... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
