[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 -- Keymap

Hello All, This is my plan. I will try to find the time over the next couple days to implement the keyboard mapping in the installer. If the user is in advanced mode OR selects a non-English language, the installer will prompt for a couple of keyboard settings. US, UK, GR, GR2, SG, NL, FR

Re: [Freedos-devel] Useful Tools for FreeDOS: Bilgisayarcılık DOS Tools

Hello, First and foremost, I took a look at your GitHub sources and would definitely like to encourage you to continue with developing software for DOS. Assembly can be a very difficult language for many to understand. Your code is very clean looking and easy to read. We all learn by doing.

There is an additional option. 5) just do something similar FreeDOS 1.1. Make a backup of old MBR, then just blast new MBR. > On Feb 20, 2016, at 7:02 PM, Maarten Vermeulen wrote: > > > Those 3&4 , prompting we can translate. That’s bo problem because it’s > writing.

Hello Eric and all, A little more follow up on the USB stick test. The same user who was testing, per my suggestion ran it in advanced mode to override the automatic D: drive as the install target. He said the install ran flawlessly when he set it to C:\FDOS. He did say that he had an issue

[Freedos-devel] FDI USB stick

Well, I just got some feedback from a Facebook user who really really wants the USB stick installer and tried that image I made. He had 4 problems, but was still happy it mostly worked. 1) he had to manually start setup.bat. Which prompted for the "full shell command line" humm... 2)

Did some major improvements to FDI and V8Power Tools. Added /t support to vframe. So, text panels can be adjusted inside language text files. Added search and replace to vstr. So now, new "template" autoexec and config files can be created dynamically using settings from installation. Like

Hopefully, over the next couple days, I expect to have some free time to finish the FDI 1.2 batch installer. This does not include a couple advanced options. Such as altering the installation target or detailed package selection. Those will require me to finish V8PT first. Who is going to

[Freedos-devel] FDI 1.2 Questions?

The installer is going well and is about 50% done. But, I have two questions. Situation: User is doing an upgrade install from FD1.1. FDI already prompts to backup. Then will backup config files and the c:\FDOS directory. 1) should FDI purge the c:\fdos directory before it installs the new
