Re: [Freedos-user] clarify dualboot 4.

2008-11-29 Thread Eric Auer

Hi Kurt,

kernel.sys is a program (like exe), not a config file.
It does open c:\fdconfig.sys and if it does not exist
then it opens c:\config.sys instead. If neither is
found, it just runs c:\command.com and the default
activity of command.com is to run c:\autoexec.bat

So if your fdauto.bat would run while fdconfig.sys
would be ignored, it would be a quite odd combination.

You should also use F8 at boot to do things step by
step so you can find out what is really going on.

Eric

 Put echo tags at beginning and end of fdconfig.sys;
 even put them in the bat. Both showed
 in the bat, but the fdconfig never executed, not in 'c' , not in 'd' any
 which way, so long as fdos was not initially
 installed in 'c'. It is obvious that fdconfig does execute if fdos installed
 to 'c'.  I suppose this is the doing of
 'kernel.sys', which does not show in plain text editor; I have a couple of
 hex editors, but that doesn't seem to
 work, either. Can windows sysedit be used?
