I thought SYS knew the system files were hidden and read-only, as was also true with MS-DOS. Do I just run ATTRIB -R -S -H or do I need to specify which files as arguments to ATTRIB? I have a USB-stick installation of FreeDOS 1.1 where Syslinux boots FreeDOS, but many of the files in that package are out of sync, so I can't use this Syslinux to boot other things. Maybe I could if I overwrote these files with a newer Syslinux built on Linux or FreeBSD, but now it makes more sense to wait for FreeDOS 1.2 or use a preview. For Syslinux, I could also possibly install a Linux toolchain on a USB stick and use extlinux. I see System Rescue CD still uses syslinux-4.07 http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Detailed-packages-list Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
