Note that FreeDOS 1.2 installs by default in C:\FDOS, so your PATH
should probably look like:

PATH=C:\FDOS\BIN

Hi Curtis,

if external commands are not found, then you
probably have to set PATH to point to those
directories where your external command exe
and com files are installed. As temporary
workaround, you can simply go to that drive
and directory - the current directory always
is implicit part of the path in DOS.

As you say you installed "full" FreeDOS, which
is a lot more than "base", you should have a
large number of available commands. Even "base"
already has so many basic tools that MS DOS
would have called that a "full" install.

[Freedos-user] External Commands?

[Curtis Collins]

I installed full FreeDos to USB and it boots and works fine. Only problem is 
there are none of the usual external commands like "chkdsk". There are 
descriptions of various packages on the project web site, but no correlating 
images to downaload.

How do I get all the usual external commands?



⁣Thanks,

Curtis
