Hi Kenneth,


can't work out how these numbers relate to the directory listing on the
fdos.org/kernel website.




4 different versions,
2034, 2035, and 2035a are on sourceforge file release page,
cvs kernels are the ones (either stable, eg 2035a-cvs or devel 
2035w-cvs) on fdos.org



I'm currently looking at this page

http://fdos.org/AutoIndex/index?dir=kernel/

But I can't see anything that says 2034, 2035, 2035a. Can you advise 
which file I need to download? Sorry if it's obvious!


To get 2034, 2035, 2035a, or any other released version, please see
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109
as all releases are available on Sourceforge, only cvs builds 
[unreleased daily builds of current source; no version] are available on 
fdos.org, ie pre-release (stable series) and development builds only).





Sorry, again I don't understand. I don't see anything called 0.84pre on
the fdos.org/kernel page or directory listing?



it is the cvs one, cmdxms.*.zip or similar; or any other than the one 
named command.com (which I think is the last officially released one).

0.84 will be released soon,



I'm looking at the page now, but all the cmdxms.*.zip are saying they 
are HEAD, and I believe I need the unstable branch to test this...




FreeCom only has one branch that I touch (HEAD is just cvs terminology 
for the primary branch); though other branches do exist (state unknown 
and/or already merged into HEAD).



I updated the descriptions a little, so hopefully it is clearer which 
are the recommended versions for more general testing/use.

2005-08-13 Thread Gerry Hickman

Hi,

Thanks for the help finding the files! Here's the original text from 
Bernd, note where he says 'unofficial'/'development', and gives 'fdos' 
as the site:


just get the 'unofficial'/'development' versions of components.
*SYS 3.6 from www.fdos.org/kernel  (sys.dev.com)
*kernel 2034, 2035, 2035A and the CVS kernel
*Format 0.91U (see www.freedos.org frontpage)
*COMMAND.COM 0.84pre (www.fdos.org/kernel)
*FDISK.


can't work out how these numbers relate to the directory listing on the
fdos.org/kernel website.


I'm looking at the page now, but all the cmdxms.*.zip are saying they 
are HEAD, and I believe I need the unstable branch to test this...

OK.

I updated the descriptions a little, so hopefully it is clearer which 
are the recommended versions for more general testing/use.


Great! Any extra descriptions are helpful:)

I see 2.0.35a on SourceForge, so that must be the Kernel I need. On the 
fdos.org site you've put description {roughly 0.84pre}, so I'll go 
with that one for the COMMAND.COM

Sorry, I've just realized I'm already running kernel 2.0.35a :)
