Ray, It depends on what you want to do. At work we use MS-Client 3.0 to talk to linux and windows boxes running as file & print servers. Works pretty well even if we ran into a few bugs in SAMBA on linux (2.2.7). One of the best resources for doing that is "World of Windows Networking" at http:/

[Freedos-user] High serial port speeds of 2/4/8 * 115.2 kbps

Renaming bootup-files on-the-fly like win95 did with older MSDOS? would be an option, but how to determine "when to rename, when not" ? W9x has a line in the textfile MSDOS.SYS for this (if I recall correctly dualboot=0|1) Current freedos installation uses config.sys and autoexec.bat on the hard

Re: [Freedos-user] just an idea

we tried, in the past. It's fairly simple but time consuming. What is a problem, is the desire to automate things. For cdrom this is easy, as all files are in one location. For diskettes, programs are loaded on different disks. disk 1 would be bootdisk but since you don't want to swap disks too o
