Re: [Freedos-user] New kernel install floppy won't boot
Incorrect DOS version Does FreeDOS have such a message at all ?

The bat went looking for a copy of command.com on the HDD and that is what it found. It didn't even look on C:. Seems like it would need to ship with the kernel. It works with the 08-28-06 command.com.

Ray How was the bootdisk created? Are you sure it contains both the kernel.sys and command.com from FreeDOS, and not any MSDOS/Windows command.com by accident? Doing SYS A: on a MSDOS bootdisk doesnt work too great either.

Re: [Freedos-user] New kernel install floppy won't boot
Hi Ray, Bernd, How was the bootdisk created? The included bat. The kernel download only includes the KERNEL itself and the installer tool SYS. It does not include a SHELL, so if you run SYS (or run the bat which runs sys) then it will copy whatever version of command.com you already have and add that to your boot floppy ;-). You can get FreeCOM command.com as a separate download here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109package_id=9826 (version 0.82pl3, please use the xmsswap version and load himem!) You can get a somewhat less stable version 0.84pre2 here: www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/fdupdate/ (sometimes stops running apps, might be related to UMB use) The newer version has more support for long file names :-) You will have to load DOSLFN if you want to use those: www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/ You can get HIMEMX, a more modern HIMEM variant, here: http://japheth.de/Jemm.html Eric PS: Jeremy once had pre-made boot disk images on fdos.org, maybe he can update those to contain the new kernels :-) -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
