Hi Paul,

> Have you tried to run the installer under DOSEMU2?

With which type of drive configuration? I normally use
a Linux directory as C: drive, so you can neither format
nor partition that. Interestingly, WHICHFAT believes
such drives are FAT16, but CHKDSK and DOSFSCK will tell
you that they are not sector accessible at all. This is
due to some magic performed by DOSEMU2 to make the drive
bootable. Technically, it turns into something similar
to a network drive after booting. With classic DOSEMU,
you needed no extra drivers for this. With DOSEMU2, you
have to load an "EMUFS" driver to enable writes. If you
forget to load it, FreeDOS will not show error messages
about writes, but written data gets forgotten as soon
as you look away for a moment and never reaches Linux.

If you configure DOSEMU2 to use a disk image as your C:
drive, you can format it to any FAT type you like, with
some effort. Very useful for testing DOSFSCK and FORMAT.

The problem is that harddisk images are a bit special:
An 128 byte header with a magic and the geometry, then
an image of a partitioned disk with only one partition.

DOSEMU came with tools to create such images, but for
FAT32, you have to manually hex-edit the partition type
in the "MBR" of the image.

So whether you can run the installer in DOSEMU2 depends
on how you have configured it, but you probably want to
make sure to NOT let the installer partition or format
the disk. Just tell it to install the files to some
existing C: drive. And again, if the drive is actually
a Linux directory, you have to make sure to load EMUFS
to be able to properly write that. You could DEVLOAD it
before manually running the installer, I guess, because
adding it to the ISO of the installer would create the
risk of using a version mismatching the version which
comes with your DOSEMU2, which defaults to having some
extra drive containing specific drivers and tools such
as EMUFS (load SYS first, then run COM), UMB, EMS, CDROM,
SYSTEM, LREDIR, EXITEMU, EMUSOUND etc. For example by
running EMUSOUND /e your BLASTER etc. variable is set
based on your DOSEMU2 config, so you do not need to
manually keep your autoexec in sync with your config.

The UMB, EMS and CDROM drivers do what you can guess:
You cannot use EMM386 or UMBPCI in DOSEMU2 and because
no IDE/SATA controllers are simulated, only BIOS disks,
you cannot use CD/DVD drivers for hardware drives either.

You can certainly say that last thing, but having a full
FreeDOS install of course gives you many nice apps in
DOSEMU2, just like a full install in any other context.

Have you tried to run the installer under DOSEMU2?

When it partition the Linux directory, it give some error (I don't remember).

And when it come to format the Linux directory, it loops 3 error messages never

It does. I forget where it goes though. I’m pretty sure it puts a copy in the

No. 

I mean there is a partition. There is a Drive C:. Drive C: is formatted. Drive

Installer does  all that already. And manages to do it without the guarantee of 
a writable temporary file system. Prior to RC4, the boot media was unable to 
generate a RAM drive under QEMU. With RC4, it is able to do that now.

Difficult. Some people may prefer similarities

Thanks for clarifying that backing up the old
system includes boot files, config and the DOS
directory. I guess you could even add a backup
of the old boot sector to your backup zip :-)
After all, our SYS has a backup and a restore.

You mean as in "are there no partitions yet"?
That should be feasible to do with the help
of FDISK /INFO and a writeable temp directory
to let you "grep" for the word "FAT" and for
the "%" character. If % is found, then there
are some partitions. If "FAT" is found, they
even include FAT ones. So you get four cases:

- no partitions are existing at all yet

- partitions exist, but none are FAT

- FAT partition exists, but not formatted

- a working FAT partition exists

To distinguish the last 2 cases, simply use
my tiny WHICHFAT utility :-)

Note that FDISK returns a non-zero errorlevel
if you try to "FDISK /INFO 1" while no BIOS
drive 0x80 exists at all. In that case, it
would of course be futile to install to the
drive which does not even exist ;-)

As mentioned before, I think you should NOT
assume that VM users by definition want to
overwrite all data, or that hardware users
by definition do not. Better check whether
there already is something on the disk, no
matter whether it is a real or virtual one.

I have limited bad news for you:

There is indeed a bug in main.c of FDISK which makes it fail
to detect any /BMBR command line option. The userint1.c code
to write the booteasy MBR looks okay, but the help screen is
indeed making a promise which main.c does not make true yet.

Interactive_User_Interface() actually lacks a menu item "MBR"
to enter the already existing, but unreachable sub-menu for
MBR related tasks, choices 0x60 and 0x61 to 0x64, code is in
Standard_Menu() for the "MBR" sub-menu already.

A file about known bugs says that BootEasy "does not work"
properly, so maybe it would be easier to just remove all
traces of that feature from code, help screen and docs??

The current main.c contains for example:

> case 'M':
>   {
>   if(0==strcmp(arg[0].choice,"MBR"))
> {
> Create_MBR();
> command_ok=TRUE;
> 
> Shift_Command_Line_Options(1);
> }
> 
...

There is no code for case 'B' yet (but for A and B, cases
are sorted alphabetically).

Code which checks for the option "BMBR" would then call

Create_BootEasy_MBR();

According to the makefile, FDISK 1.3.4 is supposed to come with
THREE assembly language source files: For booteasy, bootnorm
and smartmbr. The latter is a more recent third addition :-)

Interestingly, both "boot*.asm" files are each included
TWICE in the current FDISK download, fdisk.zip linked by:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/pkg-html/fdisk.html

Given that BootEasy might be broken anyway, I suggest
that you use the /SMARTMBR and /MBR options instead of
the /BMBR and /MBR options for now. "Smart MBR" is also
called DriveSmart, a MBR written by Tom Ehlert. This
MBR automatically uses LBA when available and fetches
CHS drive geometry info from the BIOS otherwise.

Maybe FDISK could be updated to address the listed issues.

I hope /SMARTMBR is a good alternative, Andrew :-)

Regards, Eric

PS: The act of just STARTING FDISK in interactive mode immediately
triggers Create_MBR_If_Not_Present() which invokes Create_MBR()
when no 55 AA magic is present in the MBR. There is NO question
whether the user wants this and NO message about this happening
in spite of potentially breaking any existing data inside the
MBR based on the very limited test for only two magic bytes :-(

Please make this more explicit, interactive and based on a more
reliable test, for example whether the first few bytes ALSO are
a repetition of a constant value (e.g. 00, ff or f6). Thanks!

It’s not really that bad.

Basically, If a version for a specific platform doesn’t exist. The Default 
version is used.

Extensions are
086-686: for CPU specific.
DBX: for DOSBox
VBX: for VirtualBox
VMW: for VMware
(a couple others not used a present)

So, when installed on a 386 the installer looks for AUTOEXEC.386 and 
CONFIG.386. If they don’t exist, it uses AUTOEXEC.DEF and/or CONFIG.DEF. 

If the installer detects a 486, it looks for 486 variants. But, it will 
not use the 386 or lesser ones. It is a simple either — or situation. If not 
486 version, DEF is used.

There is more to it than that of course. A way, way, way over-simplification…

welcome to installer

Is there a writable drive C:? If so skip to config temp space.

Is there a Drive, but it has no DOS partitions?
Is there a Drive C:, but is not writeable and needs formatted?

config some temp space for I/O redirection (if needed)
find install media packages

ask install questions to configure installer.

begin install
Maybe backup DOSDIR, system and config files to dir or a zip archive
Remove conflicting packages (since may be outside of DOSDIR and will 
cause FDINST to fail on file conflicts)
Maybe remove entire DOSDIR dir
Install new packages
Maybe Setup Boot sector
Maybe Install system Files
Maybe Install config files

Maybe someday, I’ll do a flow chart of the installer logic.

There are a couple reasons it uses FDAUTO and FDCONFIG.

Partly for the reason you mention.

Partly to show they are for FreeDOS and FreeDOS is different from 
MS/PC/Open/etc-DOS.

Partly because installers love to break MY config files. This allows them to do 
whatever they want to AUTOEXEC and CONFIG. Then I can add the changes myself if 
needed.

Partly because they sort closer together in dir lists.

Probably some other partlies as well. :-)

If the installer detects old config files, it offers to back up the previous OS.

Yes. No show-stoppers, but things like "the
first and recommended boot option uses daring
emm386 options and may crash for some people",
or inconsistencies between descriptions and
implementations of the different boot options.

Also please load UHDD before UDVD2 so it can
provide a cache for both harddisk and CD. If
your driver detection choses ELTORITO, also
add CDRCACHE as separate CD cache.

I personally would also appreciate loading
MORESYS, but that is of course a bit unusual.

As it is difficult for me to predict which config
file contents will be used on which hardware, it
could be useful to start a thread where you post
a typical, say "real Pentium 1 or VM" style config
as copy-paste content so I can do finger-pointing
at actually used lines that seem problematic ;-)

Of course you can also wait with that until you
have integrated the updates you were going to

That comment was mostly about Jim's video, which
is why I had sent it only to Jim at first. Of course
one should really have a writeable temp directory,
because pipes are useful, but when people happen
to be in a situation without one, it is good if
the video also talks about how to avoid pipes.

So it automatically switches to "just copy files"
mode in that case? I was not aware of that based
on what I saw in the video.

> Things outside the %DOSDIR% (usually C:\FDOS) should
> be fine. 

Great :-) Also, I have now watched the "advanced
installer" video from Jim. That one has almost
exactly the amount of choices I like to have in
installers, thanks :-) But see my comment above,
if the non-advanced installer will automatically
switch to overwriting only C:\FDOS without any
partitioning or formatting, that also already
covers most wishes.

Maybe the installer could check whether there is
a FreeDOS directory instead of or next to a FDOS
directory, maybe check which of them are mentioned
in config, fdconfig, autoexec or fdauto as a tie
breaker and then assist the user in selecting where
to put and/or overwrite a previous FreeDOS directory.

But that is of course just a bonus, not required.

By the way, I GUESS that you default to using
fdconfig and fdauto files instead of config and
autoexec files to reduce overlap with other OS
in a dual boot situation or when people might go
back to their other DOS later? In that case, you
should probably install command.com in the FDOS
directory, not in the root directory, to further
reduce the overlap?

Otherwise, I would recommend to use the classic
config and autoexec names. People are used to
them and some app installers actually edit the
config files so it is good if they can be found
automatically.

I think if you find pre-existing files of either
or both names, you could ask the user what the
installer should do: Keep, rename, overwrite etc.

As far as I understood Jim's video, you already
have a similar question in the installer, but it
was not clear for me whether that is about the
boot files, config files, FDOS directory or all.
In particular, does ZIP-ing (or renaming?) the
previous files include the FDOS directory? Or is
it only about boot and config files?

About the "red alert" theme: Just mention
the word "advanced" somewhere on screen.
People may not stay aware that "red" is
a reference to that difference, even if
they had to manually start "SETUP ADV".

Which brings me to the next question, why
not put that choice in the interactive
installer menu? As far as I understood
the video, people have to abort install
to get to a prompt, then manually start
advanced install, that is less intuitive.
