Re: [Freedos-user] Any Gui?
Thanks, Ralf: It seems you have never used DOS before (or only a very long time ago). I was using DOS raw in my daily tasks over three decades ago! That "INSTALL" you are referring to is a special config.sys command to install (load) device drivers and such. It has nothing to do with "installing an app" (there is strictly seen nothing that needs to be "installed" in DOS, unlike in a lot of newer OS). I've found an ambiguity in the instructions, that can cause confusion! .BAT is (along with .COM and .EXE) a direct executable file. However to run directly executable files (like the GEM.BAT you mentioned) you either have to - provide the full path (like "\fdos\opengem\gem.bat" to start it (if that folder has been previously been extracted), or - change in the opengem folder (with "cd opengem") and type "gem.bat" - or simply type "gem.bat" if the folder with that executable files is "in the path" (which is an environment variable and you can check that by simply typing "path") Thank you; it's all coming back to me (murkily)! :-) B. -- members.iinet.net.au/~kilgallin/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] Any Gui?
Thanks, Johnpaul:
To add to the wonderful GEM discussion, when I run GEM on my modern
laptop running FreeDOS and OpenGEM, GEM produces a blank white screen.
I have now gotten GEM working on a 32 bit Dell PC under FreeDOS.
However, in safe mode, it works fine (though some pixmaps or
characters are missing.)
I am not able to get rid of the calculator, clock and print spooler. If
say I drag the Calculator over the Wastebasket--it just sits, without
any indication of focus-shift. All I can do is quit GEM!
So that means that some driver messes with
GEM.
On quitting GEM, I see the following error.
{CHDIR failed for 'GEMAPPS\GEMSYS'.}

Re: [Freedos-user] Any Gui?
Sorry about the confusion, Ralf: Just as I have installed LTS versions of Ubuntu on my 64-bit computers, so I chose the stable FreeDOS 1.2. Ok, just to be clear, FreeDOS of course does not run or install on any version of Linux, be it 32bit or 64bit. I have Ubuntu Linux on two 64-bit computers. While I have FreeDOS 1.2 installed on a 32-bit computer. Being a user of both Ubuntu (on 64 bit computers) and FreeDOS (on a 32-bit computer), I chose for the latter version 1.2--and not 1.3 as a more-competent previous-poster had wrongly-assumed of me! Therefor, what you failed to mention, at least I could not find it in any previous post of yours (unless I missed one, had a long and stressful day) is what kind of VM/emulator you are using in order to try and install/run FreeDOS. I had used a 64-bit computer running Ubuntu 20.04.1 to make a FreeDOS CD-ROM. I then put the latter into the 32-bit FreeDOS computer. And I have been since struggling with the latter. -- members.iinet.net.au/~kilgallin/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

As a mere user, Jim, I am finding procedures problematic: On FreeDOS 1.2, the graphical desktops (SEAL, oZone, OpenGEM) are under UTIL. Just as I have installed LTS versions of Ubuntu on my 64-bit computers, so I chose the stable FreeDOS 1.2. If you installed FreeDOS 1.2 "Base", then you didn't get FDIMPLES. That's fixed in FreeDOS 1.3 rc3, but in FreeDOS 1.2 you don't get FDIMPLES unless you do a "Full" install. I have done that twice, first "Full", and then Full with Source. Even though I can't use the latter! I got the same errors posted-about previously. Also I want to report a design-error. The FDIMPLES start-up information mentions that something would happen if I pressed "F8". But all that screen-display flashed past and was over before I could either understand, or act upon that advice! But even if you don't have FDIMPLES, you can still install packages "manually." Just unzip them and put the files wherever you like. I had previously tried that unsuccessfully. First on a 64 bit PC with Ubuntu. And then via some batch file on the old 32 bit machine. -- members.iinet.net.au/~kilgallin/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

I am having trouble here, Brandon: Make sure your FreeDOS CD is in the drive. Using my 64 bit Linux computer, I downloaded the legacy CD-ROM, saved to disk named "FDI-CD1". This contains folders: ARCHIVER, BASE, BOOT, DEVEL, EDIT, GAMES, NET, PKGINFO, SOUND, and UTIL; and the files boot.cat and boot.img. Then run FDIMPLES. I put the newly recorded CD-ROM into my old 32 bit PC. I switched the focus to D:. DIR/W says that the volume in drive D is FDI-CD. Then I typed "FDIMPLES". Resulting in the error "Bad command or filename". The same occurs with C:. I have an old installation on a USB drive recognised as A:. FDIMPLES shows the FreeDOS Installer, 0.9.7. Go to “Graphical Desktops”, press TAB, press ENTER on “OPENGEM.” I see listed: Archivers, Base, Boot Tools, Development, Editors, Games, Networking, Sound, and Utilities.
