Whatever you prefer to call it, the "bootup DOS system of Windows 95SR2" doesn't have this problem, but FreeDOS does. At least as of version 1.3. By the way, I'm pretty sure I used FAT32 in both cases. And even if I didn't, the use of FAT32 really shouldn't lead to such an excessive slowdown. I would still consider that a bug that ought to be looked into. > So possible issues at hand could be the use of FAT32 and/or long file > names, which I somehow recall OW2 defaulting to. > Funny you'd mention LFN support, since the maintainer of OW2 disabled it when I initially reported this finding there, before someone else pointed out that it ran fine in "MS-DOS 7.1": https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2/issues/1025 Anyway, disabling LFN support in the installer did not resolve the issue, so it's not that. > The last time I installed OW was on one of my physical laptops, which are > currently in storage, so I can't easily test this right now, and I am > pretty sure that I installed the v1.9 from openwatcom.org.
