Hi,
That 4th one is always fun, I happend to be searching for boot images (single
ones) which could boot a CD yesterday. Couldn't find one in anyway I tried.
I have (I believe) the abillity to do everything from 2 to 4. Sorry for my bad
english.
Unless autoexec.bat is a core utillity, I can do that too, maybe. I am sure
about 2,3 and 4.
If one is remaining you can give it to me (assuming autoexec.bat is a core
utillity and so I can't do that), if you want me to choose here and now. Then I
choose 3.
If Mateusz is reading now, please can you send a mail with what needs to be
done and some instructions how you should want it to happen. I choose 3, now.
Maarten
Ps: For those wondering why I can't do the core utillity:
In 2015 I made a school report about MS-DOS. After that (I just did!) Iooked at
some MS-DOS sources. I mailed to Jim that I had been reading it. He doesn't
want me to work on any core utillity. I give him right, but well, I wanted to
,somewhere in time, help with some core utillity's.
But for now I can't do that.

Onderwerp: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 beta
The new FreeDOS batch file based installer (FDI) has been done for a while now
and
I have used it to install FreeDOS multiple times. Since, it just uses Mateusz’s
repo disc
image for packages and is not FreeDOS 1.1, I consider it a FreeDOS 1.2
preview/alpha
version.
It would be nice to have a FreeDOS 1.2 Beta Release sometime soon. Then a RC and
Final version sometime thereafter.
So, to the best of my knowledge this is what needs to be completed.
(Not by me!)
1) Universally compatible simple fdconfig.sys an autoexec.bat file that is
installed by FDI.
The present one that is created is has limited compatibility. For
example, boot option 1
is not compatible with VirtualBox. Someone needs to take a look at them
and provide the
needed changes. One additional consideration is regarding language and
codepage
support. FDI can automatically include custom settings for these when
creating a new
autoexec.bat based on the user’s selected language. If these settings
are to be included,
they need to be provided and placed in a custom SETLANG.BAT file for
the specific
language. FDI will embed them into the new autoexec file during the
installation.
2) List of packages for BASE and ALL.
I have tried to make BASE as close to the what was in FreeDOS 1.1.
I have no clue what to put into ALL for 1.2.
3) Assist Mateusz in bringing all of his packages up to there latest versions.
4) Assemble a Boot CD that contains the installer and the FreeDOS packages.
