[Freedos-user] CD drive always gets the letter H: - can't change
Hello everybody, I'm new to FreeDOS, and I really like how it combines lots of free DOS software in a single distro, making it more accessible and friendly for the user. The documentation is very complete and software such as FDIMPLES has great potential. My problem: I haven't been able to change the drive letter for the CD drive, no matter how hard I try, it always defaults to the letter H: It was a little hard for me to unravel cdrom.bat to make sense of how it works but I managed to reduce the important part to this: DEVLOAD /H UDVD2.SYS /D:FDCDX001 SHSUCDX /~ /D:FDCDX001,D I also tried the /L switch but nothing makes it change its mind. It will always default to the letter H. I tried using other drivers that work well for me with DOS 6.22 like VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:CD1 MSCDEX.EXE /D:CD1 /L:D But no, the assigned letter is H again. I tried emptying FDAUTO.BAT and FDCONFIG.SYS, creating a minimal configuration (to see if something was conflicting) but there's no way. I even thought it may be caused by HIMEMX or JEMM386, but it doesn't seem to be the case, as the behavior persists even using HIMEM and EMM386. I'm running FreeDOS 1.3. Any help or suggestions would be appreaciated. Tauro ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I am not looking for a file manager, but something that gives a navigable, categorised list of installed programs, with descriptions. Failing that, a point-and-click GUI that lets users navigate directories and start DOS apps without typing. File wizard and Norton Commander both have configurable launch menus (I am using Doug menu though , but it takes more work to configure). ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
