[Freedos-user] Installation experiences ...
Hello, I've just tested the ISO-CD image to install the system on two different machines and - after all - it failed. The first machine was a ten years old P-II with 390 MByte RAM and I was not able to boot the burned ISO-CD on that machine (though the other bootable (I had access to) CDROMS worked). The next one was a P-IV machine with 512 MByte RAM. The system booted, but after all I did not managed to install the stuff there. During one installation (there are several way) I received invalid opcodes messages and the installation stopped. Then after about 10 retries I managed to get the installation run through, but I never managed to make the system reboot - no chance. I always got the message: PRESS KEY TO REBOOT. And yes I did sys c: - but it did not help at all. Keep up doing this work. I like the idea to have a free dos available.

Hi Michael, FreeDOS HIMEM 64 3.12 ... Interface : XMS 3.00 80386 4G HIMEM - BIOS A20 method used Kernel: allocated 41 Diskbuffers = 21812 Bytes in HMA Umm, that's past HIMEM, actually. Look at whatever comes next in the CONFIG file. That's true! But it really seems to depend on the version of HIMEM, not anything else - I've swapped kernels, shells, etc, and it still only freezes when I uses HIMEM 3.12. Here's my config.sys file: - DEVICE=A:\DRIVERS\HIMEM.EXE SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM A:\ /E:1024 /MSG /P=A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT DOSDATA=UMB DOS=HIGH,UMB FILES=20 BUFFERS=20 LASTDRIVE=Z SET BOOTDISK=A: SET DIRCMD=/p /ogn SET LANG=EN - When I do an F8, I get this: - FreeDOS kernel version 1.1.35w (build 2035w-UNSTABLE, Nov 30 2005) Kernel ... Copyriht NO WARRANTY... DOSDATA=UMB[Y,n]?Y DOS=HIGH,UMB[Y,n]?Y FILES=20[Y,n]?Y BUFFERS=20[Y,n]?Y LASTDRIVE=Z[Y,n]?Y DEVICE=A:\DRIVERS\HIMEM.EXE[Y,n]?Y FreeDOS HIMEM64 3.12 [Sep 11 2005] (c) 1995, Till Gerken 2001-2005 tom ehlert HIMEM - BIOS A20 method used Kernel: allocated 41 Diskbuffers = 21812 Bytes in HMA SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM A:\ /E:1024 /F /MSG /P=A:=AUTOEXEC.BAT[Y,n]?Y SET BOOTDISK=A:[Y,n]?Y SET DIRCMD=/p /ogn[Y,n]?Y SET LANG=EN[Y,n]?Y - .. and then it freezes. Clearly, it's freezing when it's launching autoexec.bat, but the it doesn't even get to the first @ECHO OFF command. Maybe my config.sys file is weird? Any thoughts?

There is clearly something wrong with service release 2. I had to go back and install sr1. I have installed the last several releases of FD and they all went in flawlessly on this hardware. There have been some suggestions made, but I haven't tried them yet. Look through earlier postings if you can, subject: problems with floppy install. Best of luck to you. J.M.
