Re: [Freedos-user] nForce 680i (680/590)
Hi Wolfgang, I have mainly problems with EMS, but have read lately that I probably don't need this and can work with NOEMS opt. That would stop the error message. But see below, you are already in noems mode anyway... ;-). You are right that only few apps need EMS 3.2 (NOEMS disables 3.2 but you can keep using EMS 4.0). At least none of the tools included with FreeDOS 1.0 need it, as far as I know. I have really no idea, which parts of the ram I have to exclude from EMS, and was hoping of information about this. I think emm386 already selected the right area itself. Check if you get crashes while emm386 is loaded and UMB are in use (eg because you use dosdata=umb, devicehigh, or loadhigh). If yes, you manually have to exclude more areas. If no, everything is okay - except the thing that you only have small amounts of UMB because your mainboard and extension cards already use most of the space that could be used for UMB for other things. I always get error msg., that space is not availible for EMS. EMS function will be limited. This means that emm386 automatically activated NOEMS because no consecutive 64k of UMB could be turned into a page frame.

Re: [Freedos-user] Installed on top of WinMe: system unusable.
Florian Xaver escreveu: Why does most people like GRUB? I don't like it. :-) I think, there are many better boot-managers. I can answer for myself: I don't like it, I just have in in my machine ;-) Let me explain: I use Mandrive Linux which just give me 2 choices: Lilo or Grub. Unless I were willing to spend a lot of time learning to install something else and never use the crash recover capabilities, I am stuck with it. I just could not find in LILO how to change active partition at boot time (for Fdos/win98 boot) and swap partitions (needed for WinXP). So I am stuck with GRUB, which BTW works just fine and the later version has a better look :) Alain Hi Alain: The Linux installers I've used have an option to install their boot manager (either Lilo or Grub typically) in the / partition instead of the MBR. If you install them that way, you can use any boot manager in the MBR and that boot loader starts GRUB or LILO. This is what I do on my machines that boot Linux. I use GAG installed in the MBR as the boot manager and GRUB is started from the / partition. I find configuring GRUB just too much trouble! GAG is open source (GPL) and available from gag.sourceforge.net.

[Freedos-user] How to block Windows98 IHC diskette label trash / SETVER news
Hi, I just found a nice .reg file from Matthias Paul: The file starts with the word REGEDIT4 -- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NoVolTrack] Any DOS formatted disk 0 = hex:FE,01,55,AA ; 55aa Any DOS formatted disk 1 = hex:00,00,EB ; new jmp Any DOS formatted disk 2 = hex:00,00,E9 ; old jmp Any DOS formatted disk 3 = hex:00,00,90 ; nop Any DOS formatted disk 4 = hex:00,00,69 ; any... ; End of file -- the file ends with a ctrl-z / eof char here The full file is called novoltrk.reg, by Matthias Paul 2002-2004, licensed under the GNU GPL 2 (no good license for registry entries). The file also tells that it is FreeWare... The full file also contains long explanation of the problem and solution and also many alternative configuration options beyond the above small one. By importing the above file in your Windows9x/ME, you stop the bad habit of the volume tracker to replace the OEMID (which can be for example FRDOS4.1) on diskettes with some ?IHC string whenever you even READ a disk with a boot sector not known to Win9x. I think the trick with the reg file would make a good FAQ item if that is okay for Matthias :-). Comments? Eric PS: Another nice thing found in a similar place on ibiblio is www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/ftp.gcfl.net/pub/freedos/setver/ ... The setver61.zip there has a MAGIC setver device driver: You can load that SETVER both as device driver and from the command prompt, and the handler automatically figures out which DOS version the caller WANTS to see and then just gives whatever answer to the which DOS version is this? question will please the caller :-). No more wrong DOS version :-p. Of course you can also use FreeDOS VERSION=... in config sys or the FreeDOS CALLVER tool, but setver 6.1 is automatic :-). - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
