Hello Wolfgang, also you can use gparted live: http://gparted.org/ to create a
partition before FreeDos 1.2
can be installed. Best in a clean virtualized partition :). KolibriOS works
great. It will be also great if FreeDos and KolibriOS could share space. :)

 Nice video.
 :-)
  I got
 that far, but I was really looking into whether one could
 use freedos to format a harddisc and put freedos and kolibri
 os alongside. Got into some problems with the last part.
 First kolibrios.org download is 7z
 format so I got to download and install 7zip but it
 complained about wrong format.

 There is also a version of 7zip on
 the FreeDOS 1.2 Release. It is not on the LITE version and
 is not installed automatically with either LITE/FULL package
 set. However you can easily install it using
 FDIMPLES.-a
 Than I
 realized that freedos as dos only supports 32bit fat not
 vfat which would be needed to put the kolibrios folder on
 and to boot the kolibrios.img. Is there a disc formating
 tool for freedos which supports making partitions with that
 kind of format and would it than be possible to copy over
 the kolibrios folder?

 There are a couple of partition
 utilities. And a version of good old fdisk is provided. It
 can create partitions for FreeDOS larger than
 2GB.-a
 Final
 goal would be to make a how to get freedos onto a blank
 system format and install it download latest kolibri os
 version and get it to boot from the harddisc (not from the
 disc image) and use a partition with the rest off the
 kolibri os applications on it.N++

 -a

 I am active on kolibrios.org a small
 assembler written os. It is not a final product and
 therefore has no installer yet. One can use the disc image
 to boot from or (the better option) make a bootable
 partition and put the kolibrios.img and the extra
 applications into a kolibrios folder. Over the years this
 was the main thing newbies complained about. That is why I
 am searching for a way to to use some third party software
 to make a easier howto.

 Sounds like a good idea. In my
 opinion, many new users just give up and move on when they
 run into issues.
 I got to
 the point where I can run freedos and than encountered the
 problem that I could not unzip the latest kolibri os 7z file
 with the needed files. I than realized that dos does not
 support the bigger partition size than 2000 MBs and the
 greater letter count than 8.3.

 FreeDOS does support larger
 partition sizes. However, the if the FreeDOS installer needs
 to partition the drive and can do it safely without user
 interaction, it auto-partitions the drive using fdisk. When
 fdisk automatically partitions, it just creates 2GB
 partitions. Probably for backwards
 compatibility.
 FreeDOS
 also has a couple packages that provided Long File Name
 support. DOSLFN and LFNDOS.-a
 Is there
 a way to partition a second hdd partition like e.g. windows
 xp would do (vfat) from within freedos and get the files
 from the 7zip onto that. Booting the kolibrios.img should be
 possible with syslinux memdisk or the dos bootloader from
 kolibri os.

 Anyway, great work you did on freedos! Getting it up
 and running with network support in virtualbox was
 easy!

Re: [Freedos-user] Rugxulo IS A FRAUD!!!

2015-07-02 Thread José Antonio
 Calmaros un poco todos, estais demasiado irritados. El desarrollador de base 
ha realizado un esfuerzo en tiempo y conocimientos para desarrollar los 
drivers. Si en un momento dado los aportó libremente al proyecto y no quiere 
seguir dando soporte o aportanto nuevas versiones está en su derecho. Si además 
pide que se quiten de las descargas todos sus trabajos a pesar de que no guste 
deberíais atender sus peticiones en mi modesta opinión.

 Comportaros un poco, entrar en esta dinámica de tiras y aflojas no beneficia a 
nadie. FreeDos es un proyecto que me gusta como afición y está muy alejado de 
otros sistemas operativos modernos. Una de las cosas interesantes que tiene 
aparte del sistema operativo es la comunidad de usuarios, no la fastidieis, no 
sois los únicos que participais ni aportais vuestro trabajo, hay muchos más 
desarrolladores que ofrecen con toda su mejor voluntad lo que crean, cada uno 
en sus capacidades, drivers, utilidades, correcciones

Saludos y como os han dicho PAZ, por favor, si es que sois capaces por ambas 
partes, aunque lo dudo, convencerme de lo contrario.

Saludos.

Best Regards.

Re: [Freedos-user] recovering a file?

2013-11-10 Thread José Antonio
1º. Undelete command.
2º. Boot with a Linux Live CD (like knoppix), some distros include TestDisk and 
PhotoRec. It is very important that the restored files will be placed in an 
alternative storage, not in the original, media. If files have not been 
overwritten (i think DOS mark first name character as ? for avalable in FAT) 
there is possible to recover.
There is also a versión for DOS: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

3.º Under Win exists Recuva easy to use: http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Sorry for my bad english.

Regards.

Have you tried with de auto function of your monitor, in modern monitor it save

When the left character could not be see y always press auto in then monitor or

Hi,
 
When booting FreeDOS, my display is offset by 1 char, the leftmost character is 
hidden:
instead of C:\ODIN
I see :\ODIN
NB: this is not a hardware problem, as the display works fine with other OS
I seem to remember from the early days, that the MODE CON: could help, but 
don't find the right parameters.
 
The command line help mentions "Display", should I need a Config.sys and load a 
driver ?
 
Also, html help doesn't work, error message "Unable to find help.html" although 
the file is in the current directory and  
the path points to C:\ODIN\help\en. Any hint to make it work or a pointer to 
the on-line help ?
 
Thank you

Re: [Freedos-user] Announce: New release of XFDOS graphicalFreeDOSdistribution

2013-03-31 Thread José Antonio
The problem was with the cd-reader. I tried the burned iso in other computer 
and boot ok, then plug the external cd-reader to the first computer and also 
boot ok. (the iso image seems to use ELTORITO).

I also used another software to burn image: iso2cd, brasero, infrarecorder 
(I dont use Nero since years), but my favorite app is k3b

XFDOS uses an interesting windows manager, i have to learn more about it. 
I´d like to create a pendrive with it & freedos & freepascal for DOS.

XFDOS is graphical FreeDOS distribution. It consists of a graphical desktop 
called SLWM combined with the
FLTK based applications I ported to DOS plus other DOS applications.

This provides a desktop similar to Windows for FreeDOS. You can add just 
about any application to this desktop
by editing a small configuration file for it. You can move and arrange the 
icons as you like on the desktop.

I made an update of XFDOS including the new Dillo for DOS browser version 
now. It can be downloaded here:

http://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/downloads/list

XFDOS comes in two versions. One is an ISO file to be burned on a CD to 
provide a Live-CD of XFDOS. Or you
can download a hard disk version which allows you to start (and exit) the 
XFDOS desktop and its applications
from your hard disk.

XFDOS tries to provide common desktop applications used on Windows to 
FreeDOS users. These applications
cannot provide all the features of their counterparts on Windows but they 
serve the same purpose. Below is
a short comparison. (I hope the dots allow to format the table in text mode)

You are welcome to use XFDOS!

Re: [Freedos-user] VESA svga driver

2013-03-29 Thread José Antonio
It seems to support until ¿VESA 2.0?

http://www.dosemu.org/docs/README/1.4/x553.html

Have you tried with kvm/qemu/virt-manager under Fedora Project?

Is there some way to enable vesa bios mode in dosemu?
Be nice to actually test to see if my vesa vgalib.h is working in those
modes.

Re: [Freedos-user] VESA svga driver

2013-03-22 Thread José Antonio
http://www.dosdriver.de/graph.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniVBE

The other way is to make your own driver but it is necesary to know 
programming (http://kd5col.info/swag/EGAVGA/index.html) and the information 
about all versions of VESA Standard, it is difficult because not all video 
cards have support for all versions.

You must get supported vesa version before to know supported functions. A 
lot of information about video interrupt in 
http://www.ctyme.com/intr/int-10.htm (int 10h (hex)).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/pc-hardware-faq/supervga-programming/

Another interesting info is about SVGA 
http://www.osdever.net/FreeVGA/home.htm

Accesing directly to registerss is the hard way but need a lot of knogledge.

Also you must read the license of the software before use it.

If you need to make a graphics mode program you can use FreePascal for DOS 
GO32V2(http://www.freepascal.org) and use a contributed unit to have video 
support or embeded support 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/graph/index.html

  I made an alternative to Abiword called FlWriter: 

  http://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/wiki/FlWriter

  This can import docx and odt files.

  Then I made a Desktop for FreeDOS called XFDOS:

  http://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/wiki/XFDOS

  This includes the applications Dillo, FlWriter, a spreadsheet editor, 
antipaint, mupdf viewer, an image viewer, a personal planner and calender plus 
further applications. This is a workstation with graphical applications.

  Georg
