Looks like no responce yet. I usually use the Norton Utility 8 defrag. But if your using the FreeDOS 32bit there is another way its a cheat but it works. Pkzip -Prmu to another partition or drive it will only do the visible non system files. Then you can format and restore with Pkunzip -d. If however its the boot partition then you need a boot floppy to boot the system and restore the system to the boot partition. Then Pkunzip -d to restore. Its a hack I know but if the need is pressing its best to have multiple methods of solving a particular problem. I use this for my E: which has an annoying tendency to get corrupt with half full. I think its because its an exchange partition between OS and sees a lot of activity so the directory structure gets messy and even Norton does not help. Some directories having a 1000 or more articles will make Norton choke. Thus the Pkzip / Pkunzip method. I also switched to another partition for exchanges because I have programs on E: and that has cut down on the refreshing needed. CWSIV - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freedos-user] use smb with freedos or nfs
Well here goes since no messages made it to me since Monday. First for such an old laptop if you want Suse be sure to have at least 20 gig free for a min install. If you cant get more than 256 mb on it, I have a full set of 9.2 with an update disk. Support will die with the advent of 10.2. I will attempt 10.0 when I get some more memory for this PII 350Mhz. This way your covered on the wifi etc. Though watch it in a university some of then are implementing a clampdown. If WIFI is detected the local node cranks back to 56k. CWSIV - Take Surveys.

First you get the manifest files that tell you which file is in which CAB (or just look), then you extract and expand the files you want from the CAB file, put them into a boot image and off it goes. However, none of them are as good as FreeDOS. What I did was create four folders Dos622 Win95 Win98SE FreeDOS then in each I got a compatible boot sector, then put the DOS files in there too; this means it's easy to build bootable images of any of these o/s at any time. Note also that if you are going to use MSCLIENT you have to be very careful to match HIMEM, EMM386 with IFSHLP.SYS. Note also that Dos622 is fussy about the actual sector locations of IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS What would be fun would be to get help from the author of Hiren's boot CD and make a multiboot DVD out of all four of these.

It is a self-extracting zip archive, so extract it with e.g InfoZIP. On Linux you can then run the following to write it to a diskette: dd if=winb98se.IMA of=/dev/fda How do you convert the executable with its overhead directly to an image? As I remember the executable contains the image but I dont know the offset as to where in the EXE the image starts.

Re: [Freedos-user] Correction: NO Himem but xmsdsk crashes :)

Any suggestions how to fix this problem? If the latest kernal does not fix it try to pull off the copy of xmsdks.exe from the Ultimate boot cd or one from hiren's boot cd. I am trying to clear some space to start my own experiments.

You will have to write it directly to a floppy, I am no linux guru, but I guess dd is a decent tool to achieve this. You will want to read the man pages for dd before trying anything :) There is also a dd varient for use in a dos box in Win32 I recently tested it in XP home edition.

SYS with kernel name metakern sys and crea That is fine for a dos only system. I was planning to use grub and add a section for freedos. So that I would boot Suse(default) PCDOS and FreeDOS each on their own partitions. I was filling up my small 9 gig /home partition so I added a 40gig drive half of which is the new /home. I now have a 9 gig primary partition hda4 to use. I can not push it into the extended partition because PCDOS only sees 8gig. If freedos has overcome these limitations then it will work, otherwise Ill have to wait for the next major suse release then I can free up the small drive. One question can Freedos use such large partitions and can it use other than hda1 which is the first partition on the first drive where PCDOS must reside?
