Re: [Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS?

Hi John, Eric gathered up all your screenshots, and emailed them to me, asking that I post them somewhere on the web site. Actually, it's not a bad idea. I hope you don't mind, but I've posted them at http://www.freedos.org/news/screenshots/ Technically, SourceForge REALLY REALLY discourages posting screenshots in the web content area for project websites, as they tend to be abused. So, I'll probably automatically silently remove these from the web site after a few months. In the meantime, these are good to share with people for some good PR for what you can run (graphically) on FreeDOS. -jh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freedos-user] DOS on VM ?

No complaining about VMware Tools then. 1GB enough as said above 2) use FDBASECD.ISO for cdrom (or FDBOOTCD.ISO, whatever) 3) once the Virtual machine is started, click in its window to let the VM accept keyboard input. 4) Press ESC (select bootdevice) or F2 (enter VMware/Phoenix BIOS, change bootsequence) 5) The ISO should bootup now Bernd -- Efficiency is intelligent lazyness - Take Surveys.

Re: [Freedos-user] DOS on VM ?
If you can get hold of it, you might be better off using an older version of Virtual Server 2005, ie Microsoft's Virtual PC 2003. I don't think you'll have the same issues with that and Windows XP Home. Hope this helps a little. Regards Chris.

Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2006 19:22:18 -0400 After the hint on Microsoft I tried to install their Virtual Server 2005, but it refuses an installation on Windows XP Home edition... Now I'm on the page of VMware and wonder what would be more appropriate for my application, the VMware Player or the VMware Server? Framework was great, you know its still being sold and developed right? Id love a copy of the current version, but its not worth spending the $ at this stage of the game for the use id have. Yes, since years I was waiting to pay less than $499.-- for a newer version. Had recently several mails with them to find out whether their isn't a possibility of a less expensive version for private users, but no luck. As a side note, at one point i think i had Framework running on XP. I dont remember if i did anything special to get it to work but i dont think so. I was able to use it until Windows 98. With XP I didn't have a chance so far, even setting the program option to Windows 95 didn't help. It really would be a great help to know how it could be made run on XP. The whole exercise with a VM is only for this one single reason. Marcel --- --- -- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos vs ReactOS
That is, it would not be foolhardy to expect to use Freedos in some actual business applications? I think FreeDOS is used in a surprising amount of business applications, but people don't advertise it very much because DOS isn't 'cool'. We currently use FreeDOS as a RTOS (real time interrupts, anyway) for a neuropsychological test of attention. And we deeply, deeply care about the test working correctly so we've tested the heck out of our test AND FreeDOS, on hundreds of computers, and I have to say FreeDOS is just rock solid.
