I'm not clear what the 2nd bug is - but I think i get what u are saying, I don't handle case of initial drive letter already beyond available last drive, ie lastdrive=y and trying to use z may use invalid cds entry. Yes. Basically, whenever the offset that you initially use is beyond the last

I am a bit overwhelmed by the discussion following my post. I will try to address some points. In my opinion the CD should be easily usable by first-time FreeDOS users and not only by experienced DOS developers. This is the view I had when testing the CD. Bernd Blaauw schreef: ;-) The idea
