[Freedos-user] Kernel question
Hi FreeDOS team, Congrats on the release of FreeDOS 1.0 stable! As the maintainer of the GNU/DOS distribution, I had a question to ask. I noticed that FreeDOS 1.0 was considered stable, yet the kernel file on the SourceForge page was called 2036test. Is 2036 a development version, or is it stable quality? The latest release of GNU/DOS (version 2006 SR1), which was released a few months back, contains the 2035 kernel compiled for 386 FAT32 and modified for DOSLFN support using Jason Hood's old patches. Would updating to the 2036test kernel be considered more stable than the one I currently use, or is it a test development version?

Re: [Freedos-user] Patent granted on FAT

Microsoft have been granted a patent on FAT. http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=13256 This could quite seriously effect the FreeDOS project I suspect. Shane I hope this doesn't affect my GNU/DOS distribution either... The new version is due out shortly (awaiting Shane's OpenGEM Complete 5 OpenGEM 5 SDK, actually), and I'd hate to see all those months of work I put into the menu, package management, semi-automated installation, etc. which is coming in the new version have gone to waste... -Dan --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

This version of EMM386 has a number of compatibility changes to enhance operability with a variety of DOS applications and environments without the need for advanced option tweaking. As a result of the seven changes to EMM386 and two changes to HIMEM, this is a recommended released. Hi, This update breaks MEM. While it finally allows OpenGEM to work at the same time as my plug-n-play SoundBlaster AWE64, upon running the latest stable version of MEM, I get MEM: UMB Corruption. -Dan --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
