Hi Bernd, I think FreeDOS SYS should always try to install FreeDOS, not MS DOS! This is the GOOD POINT of FreeDOS SYS - you can use it even without having to boot FreeDOS first.
About RAM and A000/A001 problems: - RAM without =... should be ignored. Avoids "bug" reports from people who are used to MS syntax - A000 should not be interpreted as A001. Only very few people will use I=A000-... at all. Those people will be able to cope with any surprising effects - if those still exist - of having > 640k base memory. FORMAT: When in doubt, I could always make it refuse to run under WinDOS. Eric. PS Bernd: Tell people to abort on the WHICHFAT critical error message. Then "unformatted" is reported as 0, and FAT12/16/32 are all reported properly. However, the kernel has to be fixed - there should be no interactive critical error message when detecting an unformatted drive at all! Just store the fact and return error 7, "no DOS drive". Do not try to init the BPB further. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
