Hello,
I am interested more on FreeDos, in laptops, I intalled it in a acer
netbook,..one problem I have had is the CT mouse not working, I took the
mouse.com off of DOS7.1 and put it in the FreeDos,...and it works...it si
cause the mouse is USB...and apparently CTmouse looks for a com port....When I
installed Free Dos, I never did actually get it to install from the CD,..so I
Copied the entire Partition, off of my big computor,where FreeDos runs
fine,onto a portable USB HD, the for the Porable HD onto the laptop.....I would
be interested in more info on USB drivers, that work well with freeDos....
I would like to see more stuff on FreeDos, that is why I subscribe to these
letters,
......I am disappointed, this stuff on the other subjects...none of wich seem
to have anything to do with FreeDos....

I've installed FreeDOS 1.0 on a IBM Thinkpad 600E laptop. Pretty powerful PC
for DOS :)
I was trying 'The Incredible Machine' game:
http://www.abandonia.com/games/25/download/TheIncredibleMachine.htm
But on my laptop a small top part of the screen is appeared in the bottom, take
a look here:
http://share.ovi.com/media/vitali.samurov.FreeDOS/vitali.samurov.10072
What could be a reason? Has anybody seen such a thing?
Best regards,
Vitali
(from Garry) Sorry I dont. have a clue, but ,I looked at the pitchure you
have....on my laptop the screen is very small, and some times I have problems
with stuff fitting, and so if at the bottom is a buttons like Submit, or
Cancel, or Save, ect..
I cannot click them, as I cannot see them, maybe hopefully some one knows
something about configureing the screen, correctly,....

Hi,
I prepared a boot floppy and a CD-ROM [*] and tried to install
FreeDOS as a single operating system on a 80486 PC (IDE Drive,
one FAT partition). Booting from floppy works and the CD drive
is accepted as drive X:
The last messages from screen (German version):
CDROM mit ODIN gefunden
X:>
I am wondering why the setup doesn't continue.
A manual start doesn't work either:
X:> setup
X:>
Nothing happens. I can move from A: (floppy) to C: (hard disk)
and to X: (CD-ROM).
What's going wrong here?
Can I start the installation manually?
Thanks in advance.
Stefan
(from Garry), Maybe try installing in English?...then if it works, you know it
is in the language....When I first installed FreeDos, to the big computer, it
had a damaged HD, and all kinds of stuuf happened,includeing lock ups..on the
new HD,
it installed smothly, but later, for my own fault, I crashed the computer, and
when I installed FreeDos again, I had to try a few times,sometimes I could
start setup manually, and sometimes no....sorry I cant be much help....I am
struggleing to learn more and understand this stuff, but dont know very
much...just enjoy it cause it is ort of like a big ,nysterious puzzel, but
slowly the pieces come together and everything makes more sense

Guess that is about it, one last thing, I am wonder what kind or what editor
was used in writeing the HTML text, for the help files (HHSTNDRD?), and whereI
can get it, or a good html editor for Dos,(FreeDos)...,
and not to be rude,nor do I want to get involved in the other discussion, but
maybe these guys should start another forum or news letter, fo Windows,and
REaCTOS, or whatever is called....
guess that is about it
Thanks,
from Garry
