Most FreeDOS kernels released so far were UPX'ed and not un-UPX'able.
The kernel almost-2040 included on 1.1test3 CD distro is NOT UPX'ed.
Problem: with UPX'ed kernel, you can't check the version without
booting the kernel.
Suggestion: at the beginning or end of the file, add a string
Hi Bernd,
general question: How much do we want to know about a kernel
without booting it? Because a lot of the information below is
available AFTER booting the kernel, be it by human reading of
the version description string (21.33xx) or by querying some
int 21 functions to check FAT32 support
License evilness. Better to have the EDR DOS style
hack for files above 4 GB file size than that.
Than what that ??? Isn't it the same thing ???
I thought there was some discussion about exfat or whatever the
MS thing for big files on embedded devices is, as that is not FAT
in the DOS sense
