Today I tried Arachne and Gemweb on a Pentium I at the office and did not connect. There is a Realtek ethernet card. Please tell me what to do. The packet drivers failed. I am writing under Damn Small Linux on the same Pentium I.

Most informative, and spurred me to search up 'config.sys'; I found that MSDOS and W3.11 have the config .sys as a regular text file,i.e., can use 'edit config.sys'; but W95 and up, must use 'sysedit', and must start it from Windows, that is: start,run,sysedit..

On all the MS-DOS based Windows cd's (95/ME) there is a directory called \OLDMSDOS which includes the EDIT text editor. Which you simply copy to a directory in your path and can be fired up, if you booted your Windows machine in DOS mode. FreeDOS also includes a couple of texteditors, also one called EDIT.

[Freedos-user] correction on config,etc.
pardon, I meant to say: 'sysedit' to view and edit config.sys for W95 and up; But now that I think of it, I had used either notepad or wordpad to edit 'config.nt ' in XP some time ago, in order to put ansi.sys in the DEVICE scheme; it went off without a hitch. kurt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] FreeDOS-compatible modem dialer
Does anybody know of a DOS-compatible modem dialer? I use FreeDOS to do burn-in and acceptance testing of industrial data collection computers, and now I want to be able to test the modem (no, it's not a WinModem; it's a pci modem that looks like a com port). I don't need to actually make a network connection, as long as the dialer can tell me that it was able to dial out and connect successfully to some number I provide. If no full packages are available, a library that I can use with FreeBASIC would be acceptable, though I was hoping not to need to write a new program for this.

So how would I set up a dual boot system with both FreeDos and W98; I presume they would be in separate partitions?

Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject)
You could even put them on the same partition, since freedos can handle FAT32 natively. IIRC, Win98 will set itself up as dual boot if there is already an OS on the partition when it's installed. > -Original Message- > From: Kurt Godel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 12:14 PM > To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Freedos-user] (no subject) > > So how would I set up a dual boot system with both FreeDos > and W98; I presume they would be in separate partitions?

[Freedos-user] Utility for getting cpu temps?
Does anybody have (or know of) a utility for getting the cpu temperatures under FreeDOS? That's well beyond my programming skills at the moment...

The systems I'm working with have a temperature display in their bios screen, but I want to be able to query that so I can log it during my batch burn-in script. > Probably Eric Auer knows more about this topic. Probably; he seems to know everything there is to know about FreeDOS. And what he doesn't, Uli does.

Hi David, RR, >> Does anybody have (or know of) a utility for getting the cpu >> temperatures under FreeDOS? > That depends on the CPU or motherboard chipset used. AFAIK current AMD > Athlons, Intel Core 2 Duos & Co all have a temperature diode built in. > Probably Eric Auer knows more about this topic. There is a tiny (512 byte) tool which shows the readings of the up to 4 temperature sensors in AMD CPU. For example my Athlon64x2ee has two sensors, one for each core... :-) www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/amd-cpu-temperature-info-amdtemp.zip I believe Intel CPU show the temperature relative to the maximum temperature, so a temp tool for Intel has to use a table of CPU types and their max temperatures, afair. Eric PS: Maybe somebody can keep a copy of this tool and check which other files are only on uni-saarland and not on the www.auersoft.eu mirror yet - in case the uni page vanishes. With a list of differences, I could update the mirror :-) - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] win98 freedos dual boot
Hi! > You could even put them on the same partition, since freedos can handle > FAT32 natively. IIRC, Win98 will set itself up as dual boot if there is > already an OS on the partition when it's installed. True. You can also use a boot menu of your choice, for example a WinXP boot menu or the menu of your Linux... The trick is to give the menu one boot sector for each operating system on your C: partition. You can use a tool such as: www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/specials/boot-sector-save-n-analyze-oscheck.zip With FreeDOS, things are even easier: You can tell our SYS to write the boot sector to a file instead of actually installing it. That file can then be added to your boot menu. But as said, Win98, if you install it after FreeDOS, will automatically make a boot menu item for the "previous version of DOS". You can let FreeDOS and Win98 use separate config files: FreeDOS only uses config.sys if there is no fdconfig.sys so simply make fdconfig.sys for FreeDOS and then you can leave the Win98 config.sys unchanged. You can also set a SHELL line there which says that command.com is in the FreeDOS directory. Be careful! SYS will copy command.com to the root directory, so you must first backup any Win98 command.com in that directory and restore it after SYS... ...or of course install FreeDOS before Win98, much easier. Last but not least, you can tell in the SHELL line that FreeDOS should use another file instead of autoexec.bat: SHELL=c:\fdos\bin\command.com c:\fdos\bin /e:512 /p=fdauto.bat >> So how would I set up a dual boot system with both FreeDos >> and W98; I presume they would be in separate partitions? No - that would be complicated, you would either have to hide the partition of one while using the other and vice versa... Unless you install a FAT16-only FreeDOS on what Win98 calls D: while Win98 C: is FAT32 - then FreeDOS will ignore the C: of Win98 and use your Win98 D: as its C:... >> Or what about FreeDos on a 'logical' drive >> in W98?kurt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. See above - FreeDOS and Win98 can even share the same C: drive, which is probably the easiest way to dual boot :-) Eric - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
