Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.2+ Preview 12 - Now with Dimples
Hi Don, to make a PESSIMISTIC GUESS about the following: > Downloaded and burned to CD. > Lots of "Error writing to drive A: DOS area write protection violation > attempted" errors. Is there reason I am getting this? Yes. Apparently version 1.2pre12 still tries to use pipelines, which in DOS always means using temp files, without setting the temp dir to a location on ramdisk or (if available) on your target harddisk? This also means that all data sent through pipelines will be lost. OPTIMISTICALLY, you MIGHT "simply" be suffering from a bug in how the DOSLFN driver interacts with the install process. It seems to cause A: access instead of access to the proper selected drive in certain situations, but you and Rugxulo know more about this than I, at this point ;-) You could try to skip loading that driver :-) I am sure that Jerome & Rugxulo can give better, informed answers. "Guessful" regards, Eric PS: I suspected that LFN issue to be findfirst/findnext/findclose related, but it could also be something totally different, such as a bug in LFN support of command.com itself or in using LH w/o UMB. -- Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
