When loading items such as , an error is prompted. The device command is also not useful, and only 1M of memory can be used. How exactly should it be used? DOS is supposed to be open, why is this happening? Could it be that only external commands are open?

Can't be? DOS is definitely open, and the kernel of FreeDOS is also open-source.

By the way, supplementally, although the CONFIG.SYS of FreeDOS supports menus, the format is different from that of MS-DOS (FreeDOS' is much more powerful). For example, let's take a look at the menu part of CONFIG.SYS in the FreeDOS beta9 boot disk: MENU MENU MENU MENU MENU MENU MENU MENU MENU MENU FreeDOS Beta9 ("Methusalem" INSTALL MENU MENU 1 - Boot FreeDOS beta9 MENU 2 - Boot with XMS support (386+) MENU 3 - Clean Boot (No drivers loaded) MENU ;MENU 4 - LSI/NCR/SYMBIOS-chip based SCSI CDROM install ;MENU \DRIVER\ASPI8XX.SYS ;MENU \DRIVER\SYMDISK.SYS ;MENU \DRIVER\SYMCD.SYS /D:FDCD0001 MENU MENU MENU MENU (press 0 to run Memtest86 - physical memory test program) MENU MENU FreeDOS is a trademark of Jim Hall 1994-2003 MENU MENUDEFAULT=1,60 0?SHELL=A:\FREEDOS\MEMTESTE.EXE 12345?SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P=A:\FREEDOS\FDAUTO.BAT 2?DEVICE=A:\DRIVER\FDXMS.SYS 2?DOS=HIGH,NOUMB ; 3 : clean boot 3?ECHO Clean boot performed.. 4?ECHO going SCSI. 5?ECHO lil' game . . .

I have a question!! In autoexec.bat, you shouldn't be able to use GOTO %CONFIG%...

Look at this: FreeCom version 0.82 pl 2 XMS_Swap Welcome to FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org)! Installation instructions: please partition your harddisk (type the command PART), then reboot and format it (type the command FORM, and type the exact answer "YES". finally, run the command INSTALL. When finished, run the command BOOT A:\>set CONFIG=2

The config.sys for FreeDOS beta8 is done. I can't access my D drive (FAT32) under MS-DOS, but I can under FREE-DOS, which is good.

*The following is the statement from tianlei0123* on 2003-7-21 23:11:05:** The config.sys of FreeDOS beta8 is settled. I can't access my D drive (FAT32) under MS-DOS, but can under FREE-DOS, very good. MS-DOS 7.10 and ROM-DOS 7.10 can also access the FAT32 D drive.

Yeah, I know. My D drive is accessible under Windows, and other FAT32 partitions are accessible under DOS, but MSDOS can't access the D drive. FREEDOS can access it. Maybe it's a hard drive issue. In MSDOS, I can go to D: to reach the D drive, but when using the DIR command, an error of stop, retry, ignore occurs.

Haven't tried it. The ROM-DOS 7.10 boot disk downloaded from this site has an issue where during the boot process, it prompts to press ESC to continue, then the PC speaker beeps, and a lot of garbled characters are printed and it keeps beeping.

The cultivation file of FreDOS is FDCONFIG.SYS
