This sounds like either a bug in FreeDOS or another undesirable negative

Testing the DOS-based Syslinux installer, syslinux.com, with the "-m" parameter, I found that it works as expected under MS-DOS and its DOS variants, but it seems to fail under FreeDOS (please correct me if I'm wrong). Using FreeDOS kernel v.2041 (386f32), Syslinux v.6.03-pre11 and either FAT16 or FAT32 partitions, executing: syslinux.com -m -i c: or: syslinux.com -f -m -i

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:

Or a README or something. I don't read the CHANGELOG before building, I read whatever constitutes the installation instructions. I guess I'd read an FAQ if it doesn't work (now that I think about it, rpmbuild doesn't work on the SPEC -- suppose I should report that separately).

I am excited to try this on my system that hangs with 6.03. Is this the best place to report if it continues not to work? Thanks for all of this work!
