Hi folks,
Asking for the person still doing that Dr dos 703 thing.
What is the largest drive capacitor for the current edition of freedos?
Thanks,

Hi all,
Today I released a new version of the FreeDOS Network Packager (FDNPKG):
v0.91. This is a minor update.
What's new?
FDNPKG v0.91 [11 Nov 2012]
- [fix] fixed a memory leak when aborting package installation due to
pkgname.lst file access error,
- [new] Added support for the FreeDOS
realizing there may be other answers, let me try that again.
you are saying if one intends installing freedos as the only operating
system on a hard drive it cannot see a drive larger than 2 gig at all?
or are you saying that it only creates fat 16 partitions with the gig
limit?
Meaning you

Hi, to continue the thread...
Slightly below 2 GB are the normal limit for classic FAT16,
although variants exist. However, if you use FAT32, then
you could put 2 TB into a single drive letter! A Terabyte
is 1000 or 1024 Gigabyte, depending on whom you ask ;-)
Another limit is the MBR
So, if I translate this.
The person wanting to consider freedos, could not do as I can do on my ms
dos 7.1 system, format a 20 gig drive split it into 10 gig sizes and have
freedos recognize the fat 32 partitions thus created?
Likewise they would be limited to a 2 gig drive regardless in

10 GB is much smaller than 2 TB, so there is no problem
thanks, I think.
talk about pulling teeth.
so freedos can see drives as large as 2 thousand gig, which was not
clearly stated.
I almost hesitate to ask the next one, since straight answers come in
diagonals. but does freedos has its own multitasking included in its latest
package.

Karen,
There must be a program you need to run using a DOS environment. Am I
right about this? If so is it a well known package or a custom software
package? Some of older DOS software packages required a more traditional
DOS filesystem like FAT-16.
The decision as to which filesystem to use
Hi Karen,

Not really. I remember there was something built into the
DREMM386 and DR-DOS, but I am not sure how far that would
work for what you need. Also, MS DOS had a task swapping
feature in DOSSHELL. As far as I

not at all really.
I have used dos exclusively for all of my computing since 1988. I

Because I use dos though, i was contacted by a young woman who lives in

As I said in my reply to John, Eleni wants to leave windows behind for a

multitasking, as indeed Dr dos 7.03 includes as a part of its structure,
or a large hard drive, which cannot be

very interesting points, basically translating into what she is willing to

the reference to 286 made me laugh out loud, my own desktop is a Pentium 3

Karen,
What hardware buildout do you have exactly? Are you using ISA modems or
network cards to connect to the internet? What peripherals do you have
connectedto your system? Do you have a local area network? How are you
obtaining your hardware?
I'm quite interested in your hardware buildout.

I wonder what the brandand firmware revisions the harddrive(s) in

connected. Doesn't such a jumper, in combination with hardcoded BIOS
settings, control the cylinders-heads-sectors that the DOS flavor
sees? And doesn't DOS itself
