As I’ve said. I have not booted or installed 1.3-RC1 inside QEMU. Just that it did boot and install. That error means exactly what it says. The installer cannot find the software packages. However, the cause of the error is a more important. For the USB stick images, the packages reside on the same drive as the installer. However, for the floppy and all CD images they do not. The CD media boot a emulated floppy or hard disk image. The packages reside outside of that on the normal data portion of the disc. So, the installer first checks it’s own drive for specific key files. If they are not found, it then search’s every drive (C-Z) until it finds this key files. If it fails to find them, that error occurs. Usually, this is because the normal data portion of the disc was not accessible with the supplied CD/DVD driver as configured. As far as I know, the supplied driver works under QEMU. So, I’m not sure what’s causing your issue. > -- > Hilsen Harald > <FreeDOS-Install.png> > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
