Re: [Freedos-user] USB mobile,Broad Band device
Hello, everyone, Dose anyone know if a USB mobile broad band device can be used with FreeDos,? Also if any other browsers are available? I have been trying with ARACHNE, but no luck, If anyone can help on this, it would be greatly appreciated. I am using a older computer, also with a alternate version, of xubuntu,(linux), and the broad band device dose work, however it would be nice to get it working with FreeDos,on my dos partition if that is possible,..

I installed win98 on another (slave) hard-drive, but it added all these files to C drive and edited my autoexec.bat file. It really made me mad because I just wanted to have the win98 as an extra (to boot from in the boot menu on start-up) OS to deal with some printers and stuff the DOS couldn't. Anyone know how to instal it so it doesn't do that too (along with the autoexec.bat file)?

I am not positive,but I believe that is the version I have,on which version of GRUB I have, but it works great, with linux mint 10,..when I installed freedos 1.1, on it's own dedicated partition, all I had to do , is type, sudo update-grub at the terminal, and it put my freedos partition in the menu, and it boots fine, ---I will try to get some more details later, on which version ,etc. Thank you and have a Good Day!http://www.artworkandmexico.comandhttp://creativeminds.webege.com/SMF/index.php From Garry Message: 2 Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2012 11:45:03 -0500 From: Rugxulo rugx...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] GRUB 2.00 Freedos support To: esc...@front.ru, freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: CAA-ihx--bLa4YUpc+dF4=GQZg-NiZBCvFukRgJm4Rjcf=tw...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 5:38 AM, escape esc...@front.ru wrote: With release of the GNU GRUB version 2.00, Freedos is now supported among other boot protocols. Good to know this has been released. Besides technical improvements it is important to know that Freedos is considered worth the efforts put in development, not only by subscribers of freedos-* lists, but also by developers from other projects. I would doubt that, we don't get a lot of sympathy. If there is any support, it's more like an afterthought.

[Freedos-user] New topic: makeing a ISO
Hello everyone, I am having a hard time, figureing out how to make a ISO image, of the FreeDos partition on my computer.The intention is to make a image (ISO) I can install to Virtual Box, I did install Freedos, to Virtual Box, using the tutorial posted here some time ago, But I could not figure out how to add files, or programs, after Freedos was installed (to Virtual Box). So I resized my Linux partition, on the HD, created a dedicated Dos partition, installed Freedos 1.1, (runs fine), and it was east enough to copy the programs/files, to the dos partition, from Linux, (linux Mint10) since it reads and mounts the partition just fine. Ok so now I have Freedos, and the programs , 1 game I use, all working well , on a separate partition. So what I want to do is make a copy, bootable ISO, of the partition (HD), that I could install in Virtual Box. So I can run the game, or other dos programs, with out closing or shutting down, and re-booting, with dos. With VB,...It seems easy enough to install a ISO image to virtual box, but where I am hung up is How to make the ISO image ?---Ok, 1 more question, I also installed Freedos to a laptop, (Acer aspire series 150), runs fine, but I can not get the touch pad ,(mouse), or a USB mouse, to work. I tried CTMOUSE, but it says it is not installed ? Do I need to download CTMOUSE , and add it ? I also tried installing the USBUHCI driver, so I could use USBMOUSE, but it is causeing a lockup,... (keyboard,etc) just as the warning says it might. So any suggestions as to what usb /mouse driver would be best ? On this computer (the one I use most,and am using at this time), my table top, a old IBM, I did not have any problem with the mouse working when I installed Freedos, everything works fine, right from the start.

[Freedos-user] VirtualBox FreeDOS HowTo
Hello all, I decided to try this, and it is pretty neat, I installed the virtualbox package to Linux Mint 10, and then successfully installed the new FreeDos 1.1 seems pretty good, thanks for makeing this available,.. I hadn't yet installed freedos 1.1 to my real hard drive, because I need to copy or back up some of the stuff I have on the FreeDos1.0 partition,or make a new partition, cause I guess the installation would overwrite everything ?,..but anyway it seems to be working on this VirtualBox just fine, thanks from Garry Thank you and have a Good Day!http://www.garryspages.webs.comhttp://creativeminds.webege.com/phpBB3/index.phpFrom Garry 8.

I suppose, I will make a new partition, to install it too, as I also am happy with what I have with the older version, I also read, at www.freedos.org, about work being done on adding more utilitys, etc,..Something about USB flash sticks or drives, would this include, portable USB HDs, ?,..this would be something I am more interested in , and plan to be trying to do, with the new version, (install to a portable USB HD, (samsung, aprox 280gb), however the dos partition, would only be 1 or 2 GB,..? so anyway I will be watching for what more comes up along that line,... I very rarely post, to the lists, however do read all of the news letters as they come in, and apreciate the efforts,and work of those more actively involved, in makeing free dos available,..etc,..Thanks, from Garry I decided not Thank you and have a Good Day!http://www.garryspages.webs.comhttp://creativeminds.webege.com/phpBB3/index.phpFrom Garry -- Ridiculously easy VDI.
