Hi, Mitch stary tells in Bugzilla entry 1836 that XCOPYing files between 2 floppy disks on a system with 1 floppy drive results in being asked to swap disks (kernel DJ mechanism) far too often. Can anybody confirm this problem / has an idea about the reasons?
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1disk/ seems to contain that possibly broken XCOPY, which should be http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/xcopy/rxcopy/ although - http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/xcopy/ contains no README which tells users to use RXCOPY - http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/xcopy/rxcopy/ does contain a README which gives the impression that RXCOPY would NOT be the preferred / official XCOPY...! To test, boot the 1disk (Kristaps distro with NE2000 drivers, copying files to RAMDISK at boot time) distro and try to XCOPY the autoexec or config of the boot diskette (not the ramdisk, of course ;-)) to another diskette...
