[Freedos-user] fd11src.iso lack of 3rdparty tools
Hi. I've tried to create bootable disk from FreeDOS ISO, but it fails in setup.bat on line: %cddrv%FreeDOS\3rdParty\extract %cddrv%ISOLinux\Data\FDBoot.img -x x:%destdsk% caused by empty "3rdParty" directory and absence of "extract" util. ISO with FreeDOS 1.0 has the following files in the 3rdParty directory: extract.exe extract.txt readme.txt wde_v21b.zip -- Anton D.

[Freedos-user] fdpkg 0.21 I know it will not be pushed into the main repo!
Hi Rugxulo, Sparky, Jim Sparky, I believe your announce wasn't as clear as it could be. Like Rugxulo, I understand that you dug out FDPKG because of the need to have a x86 package installer. yes But we definitely lack some information about what you changed in FDPKG.. Can you please provide a changelog? I apologize! I mainly just removed X and S renaming functions and it is quite quick and dirty code! Is your version compatible with 1.1 packages? Will it install correctly files in right directories instead of putting everything into freedos/bin ? I need to test it more! but i think it dose it! Is your version of FDPKG able to uninstall a package installed by FDNPKG? What about the other way around? I believe it works Since you labeled your version as beta (or was it alpha?), I assume there are some known bugs or limitations. Could you share please some information about that too? It needs a lot more testing and more clean up! and the remove function is really dirty code~! All this should it make easier for all of us to understand what we should expect from your new FDNPKG. cheers Mateusz -- with love, sparky4 Administrator of 四葉の芽◇ちゃんねる -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

ISO with FreeDOS 1.0 has the following files in the 3rdParty directory: extract.exe extract.txt readme.txt wde_v21b.zip Presumably this is Gilles Vollant (WinImage dude)'s old Extract tool (freeware, no srcs): ftp://ftp.winimage.com/extrac21.zip ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utildisk/extrac21.zip (There was also a different smaller version, with srcs, on FASM's forum [by ATV], a long time ago that I used to unimg some stuff, but it wasn't as robust in some ways.) ( http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=4753 ) You can find WDE (with srcs) here: http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/disk/wde/ P.S. If you want to try again on real (native) hardware, try using something like (freeware, no srcs) MKBISO to convert a 1.44 MB 3.5 floppy .img into a small .ISO for burning to CD (assuming you have no physical floppy drive anymore): http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-free-software.htm http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/mkbiso.zip You could also try (with srcs) FYS' MTOOLs, but I haven't verified that it will work: http://www.fysnet.net/mtools.htm -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

It works fine with MS-DOS (Win98) with MS HIMEM, but fails with FreeDOS / any XMM. That is why I don't point to PXE loader's problem. I can give it a try with latest pxelinux or try iPXE to be burned into ROM. I'm no kernel developer, but the various DOS kernels are not 100% identical behind the scenes. I think they load to different initial segments, too. Unfortunately, most people don't test very well (or only MS-DOS and not FreeDOS, etc.), hence just because it works in one doesn't mean it will work in both. If anything, I would rather they tested FreeDOS first (as a more available target), but they don't do so, don't ask me why. So bugs remain. Yes, it could be something else, of course, but I still blindly guess it's a bug on their end. -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
