I don't see the name conflict. "rpix86" and "MINIX" look entirely 
different to me. Just because there's an "x" or "-ix" in there 
doesn't make it a name conflict, just like "FreeDOS" (or the 
original name, "PD-DOS") didn't make it a name conflict with "MS-DOS".


And MINIX is different from rpix86: MINIX is a whole Unix kernel 
plus Unix userspace, rpix86 is a virtual x86 machine for ARM plus 
DOS kernel. And "rpix86" is just the name of the binary package, 
anyway. It really stands for "R. Pi x86".


He was likely rather referring to the Hong Kong based company/web 
site called MiniX that offers the media hub which Robert mentioned in his reply
Doom on my MiniX NEO X5 
(http://www.minix.com.hk/Products/NEOX5.html)

connected to a 37" LCD TV. ;-)

I know this isn't directly helpful, but try using a newer SysLinux (latest
is 5.01) and/or RUFUS or UNetBootIn.

Actually you will have to disable all DPMI hosts completely,
HDPMI=16384 will only switch the whining from Windaube to DPMI :-(

FreeDOS DEFRAG is NOT a 32-bit program, but it should support FAT28
(at your own risk).

> DOS (7.0 for 32 bit file system

Where did you get it?

The detection indeed is crap. Use HDPMI=16384 (if you use HDPMI AND
FreeDOS at all).
