Hi! >> i want software freedos? >> >> where download ? i get it
In the upper left area of the page, there is a link which says "download freedos". You can also use the orange link to "source code" if you want source code for kernel or shell only. The locations are: Source: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=5109 Distro: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/ For most people, the 8 MB "fdbasecd" ISO will be okay. http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdInstall is no longer there, the new location is here: http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=Install (this link is "hidden" in the orange bar as well ;-)) FreeDOS 1.0 is a bit old now, and the install page mentions a few known problems. RUFFIDEA is newer: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ You can for example download 1, 2 or 3 diskettes of it or use diskone or the "rugxulo288" big-diskette download for burning a bootable CD or DVD with that diskette as the boot image. In K3B, you would open a data CD/DVD project and then select "Project - Edit Boot Images" and select the diskette image file. This is a special location, it does not matter which other files you put into the normal data CD/DVD project area. You can also use the Rugxulo Ruffidea distro to install FreeDOS to your harddisk - if you look on the internet, you will find several FAQ and Wiki etc items (including on the freedos homepage itself) about how to make your harddisk bootable with FreeDOS. Because FreeDOS cannot be installed on NTFS partitions (newer Windows versions use that) you will have to make space for a FAT partition if you want to install to a harddisk. For that, you can use for example a GPARTED boot CD/DVD which makes it easy to shrink your Windows. Some Windows versions also come with suitable tools. Do not use tools where you have to copy everything or where you have to re-install Windows, it is just too much work. For the same reason, do NOT use minimal tools like FDISK because they can only delete, not shrink, your Windows. You can install FreeDOS on hardisk, floppy, CD, DVD and or course also on USB sticks. There are also some nice howto / FAQ / Wiki items about USB. Check for example the FAQ linked from the start page of www.freedos.org :-).
