Hi Again!

Hi,
I agree with Alain that 8086 is far from good been a huge fan of arm/mips/...
for embedded stuff
If you want modern architecture, look for ARM/Cortex. It you want a
flexible OS, look for Linux; it has been *designed* for that.
And just a remainder: Dosemu runs only on intel i386.
If you
I disagree, based on experience...
8086 is *not* a good architecture, neither fast nor economic or easy to
use. It is only relevant for legacy uses.
FreeDOS is above all ***DOS*** and it has to be used as such. No other
achitecture.

i can't confirm this, but supposing dosemu runs
as user mode software on top of linux, we should have no problem
running on other arch(?)
No. DOSemu is a sort of dedicated virtual machine for running DOS
under Linux.
I have been using PMagic (Parted Magic) http://partedmagic.com/
It is just a very clever Linux bott disk with Gparted and a few other
disk utilities.

That is an *old* distribution. PMagic has many improvements. Not a
matter of taste.
GWIK it has almost everything in one CD (that I thought of), just the
same idea, just added evolution...

There was once a very interestick pack: Linux kernel + dosemu + FreeDOS,
bash was on a secondary console.
It would be easy to make that now, using LFS + busybox and an automatic

Apparently, the Norton guys were not going to continue with PQMagic
any longer, but this is great news!!
That was decided many years ago, I think, and it was a great shame. I
used to like Symantec its products but it has become one of those

Many many thanks, Alain!!

I am particularly interested in moving/resizing. I don't know how
Windows manages partition internally, but it concerns me that, when
you are moving a partition,
I vaguely remember seeing a so called Vista, from a distance! Never got
close to those things...
Ask about Linux, it's easier, and the answers are stable :)

PS: for what I know vfat in Linux is just the name of FAT32 ;)
Then Linux is not correct, because VFAT is just an extension to FAT12 /
FAT16 / FAT32 to allow long filenames:
Ok, but most people should be aware that in the Linux literature (most
google tutorials) the tem vfat is used

Determining partition types (NTFS, etc)
Please excuse my 'newbie' question...
I'm considering setting up a dual-boot (or more) system.
How do I determine what type partition my system has?
Hopefully I'll end up with both FreeDOS Linux on the same drive.
Thanks for your patient support.

I suspect that your Linux partition will be either EXT2 or EXT3, and for
Freedos you can use vfat.

I recomend that you use Parted magig: http://partedmagic.com/, it will

FDISK from the FreeDOS 1.0 CD should also do.
Your FreeDOS partition should be vfat and pimary, that is numbered 1
Thanks for the fix. Those were just erros (one typo and one exchanged word)
OTOH, Parted Magic is beter for that job because it can move/resize
partitions, which may be needed.

This one is the best... I have tested many. This is a bootable CD with
