Hi. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I have about FreeDOS.
First of all, I'd like to get some more basic problems out of the way. After downloading the 1.0 'full' cd iso, and burning it to a disc, I was unable to boot into 'live' mode. I know now this is due to my PC only having a SATA DVD-RW drive. Also when attempting to install FreeDOS from that full cd, I was unable to complete many functions, because it was looking for an ethernet connection. I have a ethernet hub plugged into my PC, but it's only used for FTP to other local devices. My only means of internet access is a USB 3G modem. In Linux I'm able to connect my modem using PPP+Wvdial, but I can accept not having an internet connection in FreeDOS. I'm only planning on using it for non-internet related stuff. But... this leads to a problem of sorts for me. How do I install many of the features I want like USB, SD Card, and SATA disc drive support? Eventually, I decided to go with the 'base' cd, and successfully installed the OS to a 5GB partition. I also found something called the ODD-DOS driver that I very hackneyed added to my AUTOEXEC.BAT, and fdconfig.sys, which allowed me access to my optical disc drive. Here are my AUTOEXEC.BAT, and FDCONFIG.SYS pastes. http://pastebin.com/Gm9L8LVk http://pastebin.com/sk3z5BBm -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/FreeDOS-driver-issues-tp32073870p32073870.html Sent from the FreeDOS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
