[Herminio Hernandez, Jr.]

Has anyone watched this review of FreeDOS 1.3 by a Retro Gamer on YouTube.
I thought it was a pretty good and fair review.

[Freedos-user] installing FD13RC5 and FD12 in virtmanager

[Herminio Hernandez, Jr.]

I am running into an issue with installing FreeDOS in virtmanger on Debian
10. FD12 iso boots fine and I can go through the fdisk wizard, I reboot and
start the format and install and I get a warning saying the system files
cannot be found. I drop the console and run "format c:/s" and only the
kernel.sys and command.com are copied which allows the system to boot but I
have no utilities. FD13RC5 will not load the fdisk utility. I tried to run
fdisk from the console and I get "invalid drive designation" the same thing
when I try in gnome boxes. However I can install it on VirtualBox just
fine. I am not sure if it is my setup that is the issue.

I realized it was a listening issue. I ran netcat to listen on a port and I
was able to test that the port was open.

Thanks for the feedback!

 I would have a full screen session when playing some of the DOS games.

First of all, I misread your question. But, just for clarity, (IIRC)
you can make VBox full-screen using Host-F (N.B. Host is usually Right
Ctrl).

Secondly, although this isnt super helpful advice (and yet
http://freedos.org; rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">freedos.org
does imply gaming), I dont think VirtualBox is ideal for
games. It just lacks some compatibility that some games need. Maybe
itll work for some of your use cases, but normally it is suggested to
use (non-FreeDOS) DOSBox emulator instead, which has much better sound
and graphics support and can dynamically adjust cycles (among other
things).
