Re: [Freedos-user] boot cd freedos 1.1 + panasonic usb drivers
Op 4-9-2011 0:26, Eric Auer schreef: Let me see... ~/fdbasecd-remastered.iso is the output file, in your home ~ directory. Isolinux.bin is the boot menu software, I found it on my Ubuntu after installing isolinux (I guess) in /usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin but you should also be able do download it or re-use the one from FreeDOS. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-4.04.zip The isolinux.bin is identical, but patched/updated whenever creating a bootCD. The location isolinux/isolinux.bin is where mkisofs puts or expects the file. Note that for me, mkisofs is an alias for genisoimage, not sure what the difference between both is. License stuff. MKISOFS/CDRECORD using CDDL after having used GPL for a while, CDRKIT/GenIsoImage using GPL2. Both are available for DOS as well: * http://sites.google.com/site/blairdude/cdrkit * http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htm The boot.cat file is the boot catalog location in the ISO that you create - the file is made by mkisofs and contains El Torito boot properties. Option -no-emul-boot means that you do not use a floppy image to boot. If you have one, it can be e.g. 1440k or 2880k, then you do not need ISOLINUX, but there are some other pros and cons. yep required CD drivers for the interface your CD-drive is on. I wonder if booting Win98 CD works on USB CD-drives, doubt it, as it uses an ATAPI driver. (ELTORITO.SYS cd-driver works also for USB CD booted in no-emulation mode..unless loading your own USB stack). Also by default the floppy part is read-only, which means whenever accessing it, the CD has to be in the drive. The main point is that you can modify the contents of /tmp/fdbasecd-contents/ to fit your needs and make the ISO that you like :-) Note that when booting ISOLINUX, a small compressed floppy image is booted first, which has the DOS start-up files and drivers... The bulk of the install data (ZIPs with packaged DOS software) is outside the image, simply in /tmp/fdbasecd-contents/. Eric (I hope this was all correct :-)) pretty much yes. An emulator with working floppy(-image) which can be easily altered, is easiest. Then when done, use the floppy image for bootcd. Personally I'd prefer an as-small-as-possible boot image which loads the required drivers before accessing CD. Reason is some computers make USB storage boot up at 1.1-speeds, effectively limiting read spead to single-speed CD-ROM. -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!

Better idea: reduce bloat by factor 2, 3, 4 or 6 ... and the best: 1 CORE is enough :-) Mencoder can recompress videos So can I. In DOS and without Mencoder or any unnecessary bloat :-) The next problem is that FAT filesystems suck when you try to create 2 to 6 JPEG thumbs at the same time while not yet knowing how big each of them will be. Right. Same for NTSC (tested). Not to mention the big cluster size and the inefficient disk I/O etc. None of that was ever made for multi tasking. Right :-( How to fix those ? Will they be fixed in FreeDOS 2.0 ? I take the freedom to disagree with you here and use DOS and Linux separately I take the freedom to agree with you here ... keep them separate, no need for DOG-EMU. -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
