[Freedos-user] How do I check a box in FreeDOS during installation?
Dear All, At a certain point during the installation of FreeDOS, one has to choose which optional packages to install. The packages selected by default are marked with Xs in their repective boxes. One then has to place Xs in the boxes of the unselected packages. I do not know how to make the Xs in the boxes. I can move between boxes with the arrow keys, but cannot find any way to make an X. I have tried to type the X. I also tried SHIFT + X, to no avail. Please help.

Have you tried with the space bar?

[Freedos-user] almost there...
I'm running VMWare Workstation 8,
and everything's okay now except for two things:
1) how do i make the Press ESC, F2, or F12 screen
appear for more than ~0.125 second on startup, and,
2) how do i make the top menu bar disappear
in full-screen mode without reverting to small-screen
mode?
{ #1 effectively kept me from using the software for
what seemed like hours... }
Thank you very, very much for your help,
and this is about the last posting i'll post
about this issue.
most sincerely,
mark brown

I burned it (again, for newer version) to CD-RW, and it boots natively and works okay on my laptop and desktop. Mpxplay and networking don't work, though, due to hardware incompatibility, unfortunately, but that's no surprise. Blocks game runs much smoother and faster natively than under VBox emulation (buggy/slow mouse polling ??). And yes, it boots fine in VirtualBox 4.1.16 atop Win7 Home Premium (Win64) for me (with VT-X enabled, but I'm not sure if that's necessary). Mpxplay actually works there. Even Dillo will work, *BUT* the Settings menu doesn't correctly load the included AMD PCNET driver, probably (??) because its cmdline syntax is different: pcntpk INT=0x60. Oh, and I have to manually edit wattcp.cfg to make myip = dhcp first. Then Dillo works excellently (see shot below). http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/7/vboxdilo.jpg/ http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6605/vboxdilo.jpg P.S. I tried to make it an interesting screenshot, but I'm sure others can come up with a better one. I'd be interested in what you guys can come up with.

The ISO is an ElTorito CD using FAT16 hard disk emulation. BIOS has no problem booting from that. I did expect users to write the ISO image to a (e.g. re-writeable) CD and boot from that. This should work well with your existing PCs also. Like above, I'm lazy hehe. The Zalman VE200/VE300 enclosures are able to represent ISO files as hardware DVD device if booting from USB. Same for the upcoming ISOSTICK [ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elegantinvention/isostick-the-optical-drive-in-a-usb-stick ] If you have instructions somewhere how to add my files to your FreeDOS 1.1 ISO and then make a new bootable ISO image from that I will give it a try. Since the BIOS and Bochs have no problems with my ISO image I did not expect problems with VMware and VirtualPC. I'd have to look up my IMGBURN settings for that, and analyse your CD layout as well. Saving that for when I got 3 weeks vacation, away from work.

I have been puzzled by ticking a checkbox in a GUI with the keyboard as well, but never bothered to find out, because I could always use the mouse. Thanks for the info. On 06/08/2012 16:12, David C.

Re: [Freedos-user] New XFDOS FreeDOS distribution
I had an old Qemu installation from 2010 on my Windows XP machine. This did work: http://nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos.googlecode.com/files/XFDOS-Qemu-Screenshot.PNG It was quite fast too. Since XFDOS sets up an XMS disk, you need to configure 32 MB memory or more. Also for FLTK you have to select a graphics card that supports VESA or you get a black screen.
