Hi all, 😁
I have _*FreeDOS 1.2*_ running in a virtual machine (KVM/qemu). My host
is Linux/Lubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, 64 bit.
There´s one "mystery" regarding FreeDOS though.
Here´s an example to demonstrate the "problem":
I have a text-file, say "try.txt".
What does work are the commands
"type try.txt" and also "more try.txt".
When searching for a certain word within the text (example: find
"search-word" try.txt) it works as well. The instances of lines
containing the search-word are displayed.
However: At the end I get the following message:
*"Fehler beim Lesen von Laufwerk A: im DOS-Bereich: Allgemeiner Fehler**
**(A)bbrechen, (I)gnorieren, (W)iederholen, (F)ehler?"*
The output is in German, so the English equivalent should be something like:
*"Error reading from drive A: DOS area: general error**
**(A)bort, (I)gnore, (R)etry, (F)ail?"*
Trying to cd into A:\ yields the same message. My guess is drive A:\
doesn´t exist in my VM at all.
My working directory is C:\ .
So my questions are:
Am I right in assuming that drive A:\ is non-existent ...
... and why is it that the find-command produces the error message but
not the type and more commands ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Many greetings
Rosika 😁
