Dear Bryan,
feel free to notify the bootablecd.de maintainer that you would prefer less contrast for the Blinky mascot background to distract visitors less from reading the text on the page. > My FreeDOS PC's FDCONFIG.SYS file contents follow. That seems to be one of the default versions. Indeed ! marks a line as "always use" while ? marks it as "ask user". Note that there are a few bugs in the config, which I have listed in a mail about 1.3rc3 or rc4 recently. > 1?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMMEX.EXE NOEMS X=TEST I=TEST NOVME NOINVLPG > 2?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMM386.EXE X=TEST I=TEST I=B000-B7FF NOVME NOINVLPG > device=DOS\JEMMEX.EXE X=TEST NOEMS You could edit the "1..." line above by removing I=TEST NOVME NOINVLPG to make it match the FD_NET example, while still being menu-driven: It will still only be loaded when you select menu option 1 at boot. Other differences worth copying are: > break=off > buffers=30 > stacks=0,0 You can add those lines to your config, at any place, but for readability, I recommend "nearby the old settings for those". Of course, you remove the "!buffers=20" in the old config. > SHELLHIGH=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P That actually makes a big difference to your old 12?SHELLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\COMMAND.COM C:\FDOS\BIN /E:1024 /P=C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT The old line expects command.com to be in c:\fdos\bin\ while the FD_NET line has it in c:\ so only change the old line if you want to use the command.com in the new location. Also note the different /E:.... values: They define how much space you want for environment variables and you may have to go from 1024 to 4096 if the network config needs that much space. Apart from that, I think you can keep your existing config. I assume you have already added things from the FD_NET autoexec to your existing autoexec? Which changes have you applied to load the network things? Any other config sys or fdconfig sys changes not mentioned in your mail yet? Note: When FreeDOS finds a fdconfig.sys file, it will use that and ignore config.sys, but if it does not find one, it will use config.sys like any other DOS. So it will not use both files at the same time. Check which one you use.
