Hi! I've tried everything.I ran format /s,I ran Fdisk,I've made the harddrive bootable.But when I go to boot into the harddrive,my laptop just restarts. There are various pretty technical reasons that could cause this: BIOS and DOS disagreeing about geometry when you run SYS or FORMAT versus

A port of DOS to ARM would not be bound to any existing API and would not need to be compatible with any existing DOS implementations, while still being a port of DOS. -uso. --

I agree, a 32-bit kernel would open up worlds of possibilities for the DOS platform. Also, just to clarify, I wasn't asking anyone's permission, just probing to see what kind of interest there is out there. I used to follow DOSCore and Aura closely back in the day when I was working (off and on,

I am considering starting a test project to determine the feasibility of implementing a 32-bit FreeDOS kernel. If I decide to do so, who else is interested in contributing? Said contributors could assist in coding, help with testing, establish and evolve standards for the project, create

To see it on the arm architecture I think would be a good long term goal for a 32 bit kernel. Raspberry pi and other small arm boards are cheap and affordable and would breathe life into the dos platform. You don't need the freedos community approval or help as such for a project. Just do it.

Low end *nix apps could be ported in place of over dos apps hell we could just make a Linux distro and slap a freedos sticker on it lol. Problem is there are two arguments here.. why and why not. If you build it they will come. If you don't then be happy carrying your xt's on your back. On

Eric, That mainly is because Apple is Apple ;-) In DOS, you get very far with a standard C library, good old OpenWatcom or DJGPP, in the latter case even similar enough to the Linux GCC and G++ C and C++ infrastructure to ease porting of things to DOS. As DOS does not provide GUI,
