Hi Rugxulo,
I am not sure if the issue can be closed. The problem from my side is:
Is "lh fdapm apmdos" too hard for the fd live CD?
Would a more soft version of power saving be enough?

the machine runs (bare metal or vm which needs more engergy at all).

Very interresting - extremely slow installation through a instalator but
quite a normal speed when copying cca 4000 files manualy.
...And this difference is not in MSDOS.
In theory - could it be explained by frequent calling the function
"GetFreeDiskSpace"? (Int21h/36h)

Hi Eric,
first I tried to install the exe within a 700 MB ramdrive created with
rdisk.
Extracting it needed in about 47 minutes instead of 58 minutes.
Then I zipped the folder with all 4.018 files with FD zip within a few
minutes (ca.4min).
Then I run the FD unzip command over the original
Hi Willi,
I downloaded open-watcom-2_0-c-dos.exe (an extracting .exe) at:

This is a self-extracting ZIP file. You can try using our
build of infozip UNZIP to extract it. Maybe the downloaded
exe uses build
I am no programmer, but I can test things like this for clarification:

whatever the installer is doing: unless you find a valid 'this is

You noted a significantly increased download zip. Is everything
actually necessary? Did you download a debug build that will have
additional binary code or is the

either you report your config.sys
BTW, Ladislav did some performance testing on a Pentium 4 last
October. He gives hints on how to make FD a bit faster, though still
about 50% performance of MS-DOS in a best case scenario. Namely,
Ladislav suggests (on a 512MB RAM machine) using UIDE w/a 160MB cache,
and LBAcache with 16843KB
