Hi!
Thanks for the announcements... I have some questions :-) If legacy avoids syslinux / memdisk, which computers can boot from CD but can not use syslinux / memdisk? And which computers can use syslinux / memdisk but can not boot from el torito (did you mean boot floppy image?) bootable CD? Would it be useful to ship the ISOs with VMDK files, too? Can the boot floppy either mount the ISO from a file or use actual CD/DVD/... drives and if yes, which requirements have to be met for which of the two options? Do the lite and full USB versions also have the "live" (no install needed) functionality? Would a lite CD be useful or is everybody happy with lite USB? Which boot style do the USB downloads use, direct USB drive boot or rather again something with memdisk and a Linux style loader for that? Regarding the size requirements, which filesystem type and cluster sizes do those assume? I know it could be a bit tricky to extrapolate those, but it would still be good to know at least the FAT16 "bad" case (32k clusters) and the FAT32 default case (4k clusters, drives 1/2 to 8 GB). As FAT12 is only used for drives up to 16 MB (max cluster size 4k) there is no need to consider that at the moment. Thanks to everybody who helped with 1.3rc2 indeed :-) Eric PS: Interesting that MS has given some exFAT patents to OIN and re-licensed the exFAT specs after 10+ years this year! > https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/exfat-specification _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
