Re: [Freedos-kernel] Freedos boot floppy and claimed bugs
The kernel may need to work around the Linux VFAT patent avoidance HACK in Linux kernel 2.6.30+, which writes 100% illegal names to the SFN entry when LFNs are used. Christian was going to include a workaround in Rx-DOS (NASM GPL code); it may help to see that. COOL. Now really nobody can whine about the evil FAT+ hack violating the saint FAT spec by MacroSoft saying that no file may have more than 4GB ... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D -- ~~~ wow ~~~ -- Come build with us!

VFAT isn't associated with file sizes at all. -- Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year.
