Yes the main difference is that the [exec] command works in the updated version and there is a new revision number in the downloaded .zip archive filename. On September 24, 2019 9:08:34 AM PDT, Jim Hall wrote: >Are these different (i.e. updated?) from the versions mirrored already >on ibiblio?

I managed to get the installer to pull packages off the CD, but one thing you may be running into is that QEMU de-assigns ISO images from the emulated CD drive when the OS sends a disk eject command. On a physical machine, if the CD drive ejects a disk you're still using, you notice it and just

FreeDOS (x86 software) won't boot (natively) on the Raspberry Pi 3 (ARM hardware), so if you got as far as to be able to select "install to hard disk", you must be using an x86 emulator, and, indeed, your screenshot shows that you're using QEMU. To minimize confusion, you should lead with the
