They're not talking about it in the context of log4j itself, they're talking
about it in the context of other open source projects, that don't have
something like the Apache foundation behind them, that are critical

I should probably add to my previous message that I don't think that the
possibility that someone might expose FreeDOS in a business-critical embedded
system to the network means it shouldn't be maintained, just that such an
opinion isn't completely far-fetched.
I certainly hope to see more people using DOS/FreeDOS as the only (or primary)
operating system. However, without things like full support for Internet and
modern hardware (modern sound card, USB devices, etc) this cannot occur,
unfortunately. IMO, DOS/FreeDOS need to support things just like
I'm going to make it my new year project to finish getting the 80486 pc

distraction free writing pc.

Apologies for the zombie thread revival.
I recently bought 3 of these Wyse SX0 thin clients and I can confirm that
FreeDOS 1.3-RC5 (and worse!) and FDISK are buggy on it. I think the
reality is that BIOS and USB boot code is only partially complete and just
enough to boot into a more modern OS
That was caldera that released their opendos as opensource, not Microsoft.
There were versions of ms dos that escaped into the wild, but it wasn't
a sanctioned release from microsoft.

And beyond industrial systems, it is sometimes common to see DOS (and
FreeDOS especially) used as part of firmware flashing processes for BIOS,
IDE, SCSI, SATA, SAS, HBA, Ethernet and WiFi controllers especially in

I have a Wyse VX0 V10LE and I admit I haven’t tested FreeDOS on it. If I
am able to get anothe DOM (Disk On Module), I would love to see if it works
on the system.
The cpu is 1.2ghz, RAM is 1gb, and the DOM is 16gb.
Originally came with a Windows 98/XP dual boot. Currently running Windows
98
I also have HP t5745 thin clients (Intel Atom 1.66GHz 1C/2T, 1GB-4GB RAM,
2GB DOM) and I very much prefer it's BIOS. You can stick any format USB
drive in it and DOS (FreeDOS or MS DOS 6.22 or 7) will mount it. And it
has a total of 6 USB ports! I also bought the expansion module for it that

Hi listers:
I have the Semware Editor, big brother to Qedit.
I can use it fine under MS-DOS with EMM386.EXE, but, when I try to use it
under FreeDOS with the default config, I get something like this:
JemmEx: exception 06 occured at CS:EIP=:0707, ERRC=
This is much more recently than I think you're thinking:

Yes, Microsoft actually released the source to MS-DOS twice. Once under a
license that was not friendly to open source, and again much later under
the MIT license. The second release is significant because the MIT license
is compatible with the GNU GPL that we use in the FreeDOS kernel and other

The concern I see is "legacy" code. There are millions of lines of
legacy code in production. They were tested and debugged, and
I understand what you were saying. But remember that FreeDOS as an open-source
project was created back in the 1990s, and more than 20 years had passed since
then. Similarly, Linux as an open-source project was also created in the 1990s,
and it has been getting mainstream support. There should
