Eric I would like to apologize for the tone of the previous post of mine in advance!! I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, but I was pretty upset earlier today at not being able to get FreeDOS to boot after numerous attempts. I had tried it earlier without success, and this time I was

Hi, I don't have a solution to this problem, but I would just like to say that I have a similar problem, maybe I can help by providing the details of mine. I can get FreeDOS to boot (after many hours spent failing to get Windows' boot manager to work with FreeDOS), but only on option 3 (the

Hi all, only on option 3 [works] (the difference being that 1 and 2 run emm386.exe). I get a slightly different message, although I have had several of those opcode messages while running FreeDOS. Then you should try www.japheth.de JEMM386 and maybe some manual tuning for the options. Try

The most important setting in Jemm386 concerning MS VPC might be NOINVLPG. Indeed, this option was added just because of this emulator, which seems to have problems emulating the cpu's TLB correctly. With this option on Norbert Remmel got MS VCP, FD and Jemm386 to work finally. Yes, that's

Hello! Robert Nordier kindly agreed to add his fast UNIX-like `grep' clone including source code to the FreeDOS project. Excerpt from his mail: *** I've replaced the license with one previously used for some of my BSD work (it is essentially the old 386BSD license). Even this isn't all that
