Fix it yourself? I just tried it in Dosbox and it seems to stop even earlier, not listing any deeper files or directories. But I suspect you are right and this is a bug in Freedos. /Tomas ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Generally, the problem is that the new partition with only the new OS is active, but what you want is to have the old partition with the boot menu be active. So, change active partition using some partition manager, such as Linux fdisk. /Tomas ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Yes, there are tools for that, eg https://github.com/RWAP/PrinterToPDF (I think convert to PDF is what they do generally, as that is what most ppl would find useful, I suppose.) /Tomas ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I have |menuoption 1,60 |menu 1 this |menu 2 that in the fdconfig.sys, and then logic in the autoexec.bat that checks %config% It waits maybe 5 seconds and then seems to always pick option 1 no matter what key I press.

[Freedos-user] boot menu in autoexec?
Hi all, (I tried to google this for a minute or two and got nowhere.) Is it not possible to have a boot menu in autoexec instead of fdconfig? I just want to run a couple of different commands depending on chosen option. It would be tedious to have to have different batch files or whatever. /Tomas ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
