Hi, great to have yet another happy FreeDOS user :-). The CD-ROM is only meant for installing FreeDOS, not really for USING it directly from the CD. There should be, however, a pre-installed copy of most tools in the ODIN directory there, so you can still use many things without having to install to harddisk.

If you want a bootable install-free FreeDOS, you should use ODIN, the One Disk distro. It comes as a single floppy image, and I hope that it will be updated to contain the updates of beta 9 service release 1. Maybe you could even help the maintainer with that. Of course you can use the floppy image to create a bootable CD, if you have no floppy drives in the lab. Do not forget that ODIN has very simple config / autoexec by default, so you might want to adjust them to your needs before copying. Yet another problem is in the htmlhelp: The hhstdrd package contains an "errata" page, and Johnson has started to fix some of this. As you are using the help a lot, maybe you would be interested in doing a few updates and fixes yourself, and share them with Johnson (by mail) or us (by putting them on your own homepage, please do not send attachments to this mailing list). Thanks! Eric PS: Long ago, I started a THREE disk distro called Brezel, but it never got really released. Feel free to help. The first disk is the main one with lots of tools, the second contains a zip with all the extra docs which did not fit on the first, and the third contains a few bigger tools and some file which are needed to change the language of the distro, e.g. between English and German. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
