Hello Fabian, I just did several tests and am unable to replicate the issue you are having. More information is needed. > On Jan 26, 2022, at 3:32 AM, Fabian Boucsein wrote: > > Dear Freedos users, > > i recently installed a base installation of FreeDOS 1.3 RC5 using the > FullUSB edition.

You would need to have the drive already plugged in when the system boots. That implies you booted from the USB stick. When you do that, the system has know idea how or where to place any things. You would need to set some configuration information to be able to install any packages. The installer does that a bunch of stuff during installation to permit package installs. But, those are temporary changes only active while the installer is running. > A lot of error messages appeared on the screen and > in the end only 13 files or so were copied to the harddisk.

The MBR is created by FDISK when it is told to update the boot code. The second is created by the SYS command. You should be able to use FDISK to restore the MBR. > There is an excellent free DOS utility called MBRTOOL. It is not open source and has some other distribution restrictions. But, it is free and can be legally distributed as-is. Do to those restrictions it cannot be included with the FreeDOS release. But, you can grab a mirrored copy from my website at https://fd.lod.bz/redist/disk/MBRtool/ [4] v1.x is much smaller than v2.x. But, both work really well.

Were the errors about a corrupt or unreadable zip file? Were the errors about no space left on device? Any proposed solution will depend on what the errors were. It's impossible to debug this without knowing what errors you saw. For comparison: Have you installed any other packages on this FreeDOS instance using FDIMPLES? Do you get error messages for those packages? > ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] Watcom compiler on FreeDOS 1.3 RC5
Dear Freedos users, i recently installed a base installation of FreeDOS 1.3 RC5 using the FullUSB edition. After that i tried to install the Watcom compiler with fdimples. A lot of error messages appeared on the screen and in the end only 13 files or so were copied to the harddisk. I checked the md5sum of the downloaded ZIP file and it matched the one on the FreeDOS website. Is that error allready known to you or is it just my system that behaves differently for whatever reason? After installing the Watcom from the IBIBLIO FreeDOS archive what do i need to configure the compiler so that i can use it?
