Hi, yes, fdbasecd is enough. Actually everything which boots DOS at all is enough, as you already have the BIOS update tool and the new BIOS at another location. However, you have to put those files on a FAT partition or floppy or similar, because DOS does not support NTFS or USB out of the box. You could of course load drivers, but it is hard to modify the content of the ISO and if you modify it anyway then you can just as well put the BIOS file and software on the ISO instead :-)
You can also use and modify a floppy image to make bootable CD or DVD, many CD/DVD burner tools support using a floppy or image of one to make bootable disks in easy ways. A nice freedos boot floppy is for example at rugxulo.googlepages.com - you can remove some tools to make space for your BIOS files and tools. Eric PS: Boot without emm386 / jemmex / jemm386 / other EMS or UMB drivers, as that can make your BIOS update tool run less stable. It is also good to avoid network, sound and USB drivers and maybe even BIOS network and USB support, but you may need the latter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
