[Freedos-user] loading other config.sys?
Is it possible to include from one config.sys a file config2.sys and execute the content of config2.sys right after config.sys? - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.

Re: [Freedos-user] loading other config.sys?
Hi! Is it possible to include from one config.sys a file config2.sys and execute the content of config2.sys right after config.sys? No. FreeDOS tries to open fdconfig.sys and if that one is not found it tries config.sys and if that is not found then defaults are used. You can have a menu system in (fd)config.sys but it has different syntax than MS DOS config.sys ... Arkady made a patch to support both FreeDOS and MS DOS syntax but that patch is not in the kernel (guys, could we add that patch now? Thanks :-)). A typical config.sys contains some kernel settings and commands to load drivers or install TSRs. The latter is basically the same as loading the TSRs from any batch file such as autoexec. It can be tricky to modify kernel settings after boot... However, you CAN load drivers from any batch file or the command prompt with DEVLOAD. You SHOULD not use DEVLOAD for HIMEM or EMM386 as the kernel cannot make full use of XMS/HMA/EMS/UMB RAM if activated AFTER config.sys Please let us know if DEVLOAD solves your problem and if not which other configuration modifications you would like to do with the help of the suggested config2.sys file :-).

Eric (Yes, I did also like the ms-dos menu style where you could use arrow keys more.) Devload does not help. The idea of devload is great, I did try it in past. The problem was that some TSR`s could not be loaded or the system become unstable after loading it this way. It`s not that long ago and if you are interested I could try to reproduce this. The idea of including another config.sys was that my real config.sys is on another device which becomes visible just after loading the correct driver. config1.sys was just too boot up and load the driver. :) - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
