[Freedos-user] freedos 1.2 archivers

Hi, I did a full freedos 1.2 installation but not all archivers were installed. While I got them from the CD eventually from the ARCHIVERS directory I was wondering if that is supposed to happen. Best regards, Dimitris

I just downloaded the bootable FD 1.2pre22 CD and booted a VM in VirtualBox. I see `FDAPM APMDOS` in autoexec.bat. No IDLEHALT in FDCONFIG.SYS. CPU also spikes to 100% when I run `edit autoexec.bat`. On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 8:22 PM, Rugxulo wrote: > Hi, > > On Jul 19, 2016

DOSAPM (which also handles the `reboot` command amongst others) isn't setup to handle this? On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 3:13 PM, Ulrich Hansen wrote: > Thanks! This is really impressive!! > > Just a quick remark: > > I see that the Norton Commander clone doszip (DZ.EXE) is

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.2 - Preview 22

Thanks! This is really impressive!! Just a quick remark: I see that the Norton Commander clone doszip (DZ.EXE) is installed by default. Which is great! In VirtualBox though it would be better to activate in „Setup" - "System Options": [ x ] „Use DOS Idle Int 2Fh“ Otherwise for VirtualBox

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.2 Networking and Internet.

Hello all, As you you may already know, we have been working on the FreeDOS 1.2 release. One thing I would like to see make it into the release is some networking. I don’t think it would be practical to have a universal setup for each and every machine and NIC at this time. But, it may be

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS website

Hi all Just a heads up that I'm doing some planned maintenance on the FreeDOS www website tomorrow, Saturday, July 16. Not sure when I'll start, but watch Twitter @freedos_project for updates. This isn't a website update, this is just moving the website to a new Amazon instance. I mentioned that

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS website (rants)

I mostly agree with the sentiments towards HTML5 here. One of my biggest gripes is that websites are now attempting to emulate the appearance and functionality of native apps with useless animations and twenty JavaScript libraries that make my Core i5 machine slow. But I think this is just the
