Hi, I've just installed FreeDOS to learn a DOS kernel architecture and the project activities. Actually what I cannot see clearly is the followings
I have the SVN source tree, which is stopping at kernel 2041 and not changed any more. But the mail below is about kernel 2042 which seems to be an unofficial build and fixes a very old CP/M incompatibility bug in its own unofficial git repository. Is there any plan to include such fixes in official FreeDOS as well? Or is this 2042 also an official release? Also SVN contains "install" for package handling from disksets, while the 1.1 installer contains fdupdate (which is obsolate) and fdpkg. The de facto official program is fdnpkg now, but, the official 1.1 distribution cannot be upgraded with it, since the .lst filenames of installed packages are in a pkgx.lst format and incompatible. As a result 1.1 install CD is not recommended to use, thus there is no valid official distribution exists. So how a user can locate or identify what is the official (conforming to JHall) freedos distribution? Is there any plan to release a FreeDOS-1.1.1 or FreeDOS-1.2 with the updated kernel and fixed package installer? Maybe with fdnpkg? Thank you for your clarification in advance, Tibi 2014-11-05 23:54 keltezéssel, Don Flowers írta: > Hi Kenneth, > The 2042 Kernel works great, also I was wrong about the partition > size, I have installed and reinstalled and forgot to update my GRUB! > > Thank you for providing another option...now if someone could help me > with a TSR conflict for my Collins Dictionary. : ) > > On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 11:18 PM, <perditi...@gmail.com > <mailto:perditi...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Please try the kernel build (8086,FAT32) at > http://www.fdos.org/kernel/testing/olb/ and let me know if this > one also works for you.
