Re: [Freedos-user] Mplayer, dos freedos?
Hi, yes it is possible :-) You need HX-Extender, all binaries, also the part of GUI . Then you need some DLLs... I think, not only from Windowsalso from Wine it is possible. Then it is possible to play full-screen Videos in DOS using Window's port of mplayer. Just ask at the forum if you want to have detailed info. btw: there may be a problem with sound, because HX supports only SB16 at the moment. If you have a driver which emulates SB16 then you shouldn't have problem. Much luck! :-) Bye Flo PS: The main problem at the moment is the support of sound in DOS. There are libraries which can be easily ported, or are ported, like libmpeg2... If someone has the knowledge and/or wants develope a dirver for special sound card, please post a note at the Dr-DOS forum (or here).

Re: [Freedos-user] Comments About FreeDOS Install
A couple of more things. I had a really tough time trying to find the wattcp.cfg file as the c: \fdos\bin was the most unlikely place I would expect it. Why not /etc? grin After setup and configuring the wattcp.cfg file, it forgets to insert a nameserver. And teh install will hang with the error No nameserver configured I hope nothing else had to be configured by the installer. :-/ Reason why I'm interested in Freedos, UniFlash. I need a way to flash my bios as I'm working on trying to get by default motherboard bios replaced with LinuxBios. Linux-MTD isn't giving me a good solution for working with my flash parts yet.

DOS cannot install to non-FAT partitions anyway... But one could display a part of a directory listing to reassure the user...? Yes. I did read the install the night before installing. So from there, I just installed it. It's still scary though because it's a big unknown as to which partition it really is using for the install. Yes. This is my vote for just to reassure the user that it's installing to the 3rd partion on the harddrive with a size of 1,000MB. 2) How about an unattended install instead of having to press space or the any key all the time? You have to do some selections anyway, but I agree it should not be all the time. Things should be automatic as soon as you are done with package selection, are they? Yes. Once the user taps the space key, install proceeds. I do like the install as it's reminiscent of a RedHat install (although I've been using Gentoo for the past years). It would be nice to make the package selection once at the beginning of the install (similar to most linux distros) and then all the copy process take over without having further package selection prompts. I usually just select the Default package selection *anyways* as it is tedious going through and trying to select or deselect packages a o/s has 20+ packages to install. 3) I didn't know there were this many Open Source programs for DOS! might have elected for a small install. You could have guessed from the download size ;-) Thought it was just a lot of ReadMe.txt? ;-) I'm shocked. Looks sweet. Great job!

I selected a static instead of dhcp setup here. So I should specify a nameserver. There were only prompts for everything else (ie. ip,gateway,domainname). Oh, and there was no hostname prompt.. although not needed. But I agree that there should be a selection install everything which does not need networking or usb (you can still install those later) because that is a lot faster than having to config the network stuff and usb first. shrugs I don't mind installing everything.

Re: [Freedos-user] keyboard locked
hmm, You may have to check your system bios for a USB legacy mode so it is handled though int 16.

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS and MPlayer
Hi! I hear here and there that some people are launching the Win version of MPlayer under FreeDOS. That's pretty interesting, unfortunately, after many tries I am still unable to run MPlayer that way :( Maybe someone could explain me, step by step, how to proceed? What version of MPlayer is the most willing to go on DOS? Which DLL's have I to steal from Windows?Japhet's HX tool seems to be pretty easy to use, so I suspect that I am doing something wrong with the MPlayer itself... For example, I got recently the following errors: dpmild32: import not found: ChooseFontA dpmild32: file COMDLG32.DLL dpmild32: COMDLG32.DLL: cannot resovle import.
