[Freedos-user] Seemingly simple?freedos-w98se dual boot?
I have been trying for a week to get FreeDos and W98SE to dual boot. Tried single partition with dos first then windows=only the dos boots; then windows first and dos second=only the dos boots. Then tried extended partition/logical drive 'd', both ways(with 'd' having either dos or windows; in fact, the FreeDos installer even asks where to install: c or d); still no good. The boot menu of FreeDos seems to muscle in ,and dominate; so I presume 'fdconfig.sys' needs a line placed in it to make the additional option of booting to windows? Also perplexing: if I only load the Freedos, drive c: has autoexec .bat with hundreds of bytes, but if I load FreeDos on top of W98, the autoexec.bat is empty, as it is with W98; yet the FreeDos runs.(or was that 98 on top of dos?). PS, I have seen screenshots of 'fdisk' with 5 menu options, but the one I have,from an old startup, has but four. Will I have to pre-partition the disk, and if so, with what exact configuration?

Re: [Freedos-user] Utility for getting cpu temps?
There is a tiny (512 byte) tool which shows the readings of the up to 4 temperature sensors in AMD CPU. For example my Athlon64x2ee has two sensors, one for each core... :-) www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/amd-cpu-temperature-info-amdtemp.zip I believe Intel CPU show the temperature relative to the maximum temperature, so a temp tool for Intel has to use a table of CPU types and their max temperatures, afair. [..] PS: Maybe somebody can keep a copy of this tool and check which other files are only on uni-saarland and not on the www.auersoft.eu mirror yet - in case the uni page vanishes. With a list of differences, I could update the mirror :-) I could mirror this to ibiblio, but I have an issue with your public domain license. ; Public domain tool to display Athlon64 / Opteron CPU temperature ; Written by Eric Auer ; Based on an algorithm from the Linux kernel (source license: GPL) ; See for example: linux-2.6.19/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c If you're basing your code for amdtemp on code from the Linux kernel (which is under the GNU GPL) then you have created a derivative work. So your program must also be distributed under the GNU GPL, not public domain. If you change the license to the GNU GPL to satisfy this, then I can mirror your program to our archive at ibiblio. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
