At home it is OK, no trouble with Mandriva or Ubuntu. At the office we have, among others, a PC with a hard disk with 2 GB of memory and its RAM is of 128 GB. I Decided to run ROSLIMS from the live CD, but Freedos would also be useful. Under Ubuntu I could use only DOSBOX, under Mandriva

It's just my preference but why do *any* of this with the installation program? Maybe you'd be better off installing FreeDOS by hand, from scratch, making sure that works, and then installing just the components you really need. I'm new to FreeDOS. My first install was using gparted to create a

Unless you have a specific need to boot your PC with FreeDOS, I would recommend running FreeDOS inside Linux DOSEmu. This is mostly how I use FreeDOS these days. It works great. Por favor... don't write such words here - because the chief should not make it official, that there should be used

Hi Michael, - C: was accessible thanks to the BIOS driver anyway :-p. Yes. If so, why did it become inaccessible when you loaded the DOS USB driver?? I don`t think it would happen with a normal harddisk. Well you loaded a driver which created a new int13 gateway to the SAME drive,

Hi Michael, It`s quite problematic to run FreeDOS on modern hardware. (lack hardware and driver support) I disagree... For example somebody recently asked me how he could remove a preinstalled FreeDOS from his PC, as he wanted to install Windows. It turned out that his SATA harddisk was
