Re: [Freedos-user] freedos not installing
Hi Elias, I downloaded the latest FreeDOS and installed it smoothly. I will complain to DELL on Monday... Thanks a lot :-). Let us know when you have questions about FreeDOS, or when you encounter problems. We also have a page about known issues, most of them minor: http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdInstall Examples: Translation / USB stick / Problems with makerom, helpcfg, fortune and cwsparam / List of packages that need internet / How to shorten PATH / Where to get more GEM software / How to install ALMOST everything on only 100 MB ;-) / Bug in load without drivers option / How to save RAM / Windows hints / How to make DOS more stable. If one day I need to install XP or Vista, will it be simple from the CD drive? To get some performance out of normal hardware, you will probably prefer XP, not Vista... You can also try Ubuntu, works very smooth and is easy to use :-). In either case, you can always install one or more operating systems on a computer. It does not make a difference which operating system you had installed before. For example, I have SuSE Linux and Windows XP on my PC at work, and Linux, FreeDOS and Windows 3.1 (not WfW) on my PC at home :-). Note that Linux is the only operating system with easy to use support for ADDING Linux later. When you install DOS or Windows, it will often REPLACE your other operating systems unless you manually tell it (how) not to do that. In the Windows and DOS case, you have to create a partition for Windows and DOS, after possibly making your eg. Linux partition smaller. Because many people already HAVE Windows, Linux is more add friendly: It will often help you to make the Windows/DOS partitions smaller in an easy way and then use the gained space to install Linux. In either case, it is always more fun to have more than one operating system installed at the same time :-). At work, I use Linux most of the time, and only use Windows to test if my software works on both Linux and Windows... ;-). Eric PS: The Install hint page does not tell you yet, but we have a list of at about 40 apps for which updates are available... I guess it is time for FreeDOS 1.1 :-). It will also include drivers from www.japheth.de afaik :-). - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [Freedos-user] Strongly recommended reading...
Hello, 2007/6/4, Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Aitor, I am afraid I disagree, Eric. We are just having badly or poorly commented code BECAUSE we are creating Open Source. I believe it is not as much the case for SMALL firms, but as for software written for big firms, they usually not only count, but also force you to write complete documentation (not only code comments), functional and technical, some others also test cases, and many many manuals for it. That would possibly be overdoing things again... I hope that my open source code - and quite a bit of the FreeDOS stuff - has reasonably well commented sources. On the other hand, I have I don't quite agree, but anyway I don't care about the local comments, but just some document explaining the basic architecture of a piece of software (usually 1-2 lines saying where to start). I'm not free of guilt, though. I just try to describe what I see in real life. seen the case that a meeting about coding style has been post- poned (in a company) because people will not change anyway. So far for companies giving the good example ;-). Not serious ones. Strategic decission to change services provider can come, and then what. But of course it is always good to remember that we have to remind ourselves to write good code in open source. Because we are not paid for FreeDOS, there is no quality control dept either. On the other hand, there could be one - working with volunteers, just like our software devel dept :-). That would be an idea, provided that there would be enough volunteers to afford that. Hopefully there's one for Linux kernel, e.g. Aitor - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits.

Re: [Freedos-user] Updated FreeDOS web design
Hello, I don't know if it's just me, but the current font (at 17th of june) looks a bit strange and harder to read... Aitor 2007/6/8, Jim Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thanks to all of the Arachne users (especially Udo!) and other web testers who helped with the new FreeDOS web design. The new design doesn't differ all that much from the old one, but has a cleaner look. More importantly, the new design looks much better under Arachne (some differences: Arachne doesn't support absolute positioning of the linkList, and doesn't display the background images.)

Re: [Freedos-user] Brief notes on using KEYB
Hello Grant, You're right. At current stage, the modifier keys operate some extra magic on BIOS variables, and there are YET no commands in KEYB to perform those changes. There will be in the future, but not a near future. Aitor 2007/6/9, Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED]: you won't find the KL files. You will find the KEY (i.e. source) files instead, which can be modified (i.e. edited on any ordinary TXT file editor) and compiled - that's when the KL files appear. Yup, I finally figured that out (from reading the kc docs). After trying for a couple hours, I also realized that keyb 2.0 can't do what I'm trying to do (I was able to map the caps lock key to other characters, but you can't make a key function as a modifier (shift/control/caps-lock) using keyb 2.0. It says so plainly in the keyb docs, but I only noticed it the third time I read the section on commands. :/ I did find a TSR that does pretty much what I want, so I'm all set to go. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Re: [Freedos-user] keyboard function and cursor key remapping problem
With KEYB you can actually do this, there's a basic behaviour which lets you remap, for cerain scancode, the character it produces. You can in addition remap the scancode, too (e.g. for german). Then you have strings, which provide further flexibility. Do let me/us (Henrique) know if you need some extra help. Aitor === Excerpt of GR.KEY, to remap Y key to behave as regular Z: [KEYS:kcommon] ... 21CS 44/z44/Z44/#0 44/#0 44/#26 44/#0 ... === C is to mean that CapsLock affects this key S is to mean that scancode has to replace too (format Scancode/char instead of simply char) The columns that Henrique has defined in the file are Normal, Shift, AltGr, Shift+AltGr, Control, Alt Aitor 2007/6/11, Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi people, somebody asked me the following: How can I remap function and cursor keys to those char codes: F1 to F6 to char codes 0xb1 to 0xb6 left right up down to char codes 8, 6, 0x0b, 5 I think both KEYB and NANSI could do that, but can anybody explain which config files / strings have to be used for that and how they are activated in KEYB or NANSI? Thanks :-) Eric PS: The above keyboard remapping is for using a simple DOS terminal software to control a Heesemann grinding machine. A terminal which can map keycodes itself would also work, so suggestions for suitable freeware terminals are welcome, too. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS icon
Am I too late to see the old one? I still see the fish (mozilla based, the favicons never seemed to work very well with MSIE, with mozilla based they allways work well, I ignore why). Aitor 2007/6/15, Eric Auer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Mateusz, I saw that the FreeDOS website's icon has changed why?? I think the previous one was much nicer... by the way, the current one is just an adaptation of the MSDOS icon from Windows. :( I agree. It is a bad idea to use a MS style icon. Especially when we can use a really nice FreeDOS fish icon instead! Does anybody have a copy of the old icon? Otherwise we would have to wait until Jim returns so he can reactivate the old icon himself.
