Are you certain that the machine you are trying to install FreeDOS is not UEFI only and supports BIOS (Legacy) boot? And, that is enabled in the BIOS settings? Most modern Linux installers can boot both ways. Unfortunately, UEFI is not an option for FreeDOS at present.

Re: [Freedos-user] DJGPP (was Re: FYI: Social media URLs updated)

DJGPP has not been updated in a while for a couple reasons. I have nothing against it. But, I don’t use it. There are numerous pieces. Which aren’t needed? What relies on other things? Which are the most popular? Which should be included? I look at that large collection of components and

Re: [Freedos-user] Floppy Installer repack of FreeDOS 1.3-RC5

Hi Darik, Quick questions… Did your repack include ALL packages included in the FloppyEdition not just i386. For example, VirtualBox and VMWare include FDNet as well as the set for 386s. Does it make any accommodations for different hardware? Or just install everything wether or not it is

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.3-RC5

Hello FreeDOS Community, The wait for 1.3-RC5 is over. It has arrived! There are so many changes, improvements and updates that it is not practical to go into it all. But, I’ll point out a couple special things to look forward to in RC5. New FreeCOM 0.85a New Kernel 2043 and an 8086 version

If all you want is a list of files and directories in a directory… veach /a+ /d *.* /l >out.txt VEACH is part of V8Power Tools that comes with FreeDOS. However, there have been important updates to V8Power Tools since the 1.3-RC4 release. I recommend updating the version you have to the latest

I have Wolfenstien 3D. It’s been a while. But, I’m fairly sure I’ve run on top of FreeDOS. I’ll need to check when I have the time. I also have a couple PQ and other Sierra games laying around. I think most of them worked without issue. But, again it’s been a while. I do recall that Battle

Re: [Freedos-user] ISO repack reduces size by 10%

Hi Darik, I appreciate the effort you put into creating a PowerShell script to repack the repository. However, I do not know if we are going to do that. First, the new versions would need to be checked to ensure compatibility. They would probably be fine. But, testing would still need done. I
