Hi all, Thought I'd share my experience trying T2603:
First in qemu-system-i386 running on a Raspberry Pi 400 (so, software emulation): - Whole experience was sluggish, right from the start. Every screen of the installer would visibly build up top-to-bottom. To be expected perhaps, considering the software emulation? - First installation failed while copying FDMINES with an unclear error. - Recreated the virtual disk, manually created and formatted the partition first, and then it went through without problems. - FDIMPLES was unusably slow. - Otherwise, worked great! Then, on a Dell Inspiron 510m laptop: - Installation went super smooth - FDIMPLES still very slow, arrowing from one option to the next would take a second or too. But not unusuable, and in the end I got my packages installed. - Then installed Windows 3.11. Had to manually copy the lines from AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, and set PageOverCommit=1 because the machine has 1G of memory (*1). But even after that starting Windows would crash/reboot the machine. - No other issues! Perfectly usable. SUDO worked too ;-) *1: https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/10099998/ Regards, Sijmen _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
