I'm trying to install FreeDOS from a fdbasecd image.
The computer boot OK with the CD and I can select the options form the
menu, but when I try to install FreeDOS, one gzip process fails while
decompress with a message of overflow ¿?
The old version (I don't remember maybe beta 9) works ok.
This probably means that the new cdrom drivers are less reliable
than the old ones. Use MEM /d /p to see which driver you have
loaded. The ElTorito boot-bios-supported driver is probably
better than the generic cdrom driver. I encountered the same
problems and used the following solution:
Copy the iso image (not the contents but really the raw .iso file)
to c:\fdbootcd.iso and boot the installer (from cdrom or diskette).
It will find the iso image and "mount" it, which means that it can
get all data directly from the iso on harddisk. Fast and reliable :-).
Now you do not even need a cdrom drive. This should REALLY be
promoted more clearly on the download page and in the readme :-).
