Dec. 26, 2009 : only updated disk #3 (w/ srcs), others (#1, #2) are still from Sep. 15, 2008

NEW! (2019) You may wish to take a look at my MetaDOS floppy instead.

You can grab individual packages (bin or src) from FreeDOS 1.0 (2006) at iBiblio.org if necessary.

 

(N.B. disk #1 uses 386+ "2038pre" kernel, #2 is 8086+ "2037 WinKern", #3 is 8086+ "2036")

(Some of this stuff is only for non-commercial use, esp. disk #3, but most should be okay either way.)

(All three disks use FAT32-enabled FreeDOS kernels while still supporting FAT12 and FAT16.)

 

misc. FSF licenses for your reading pleasure (heh):    lgpl21.txt  gpl2.txt  gpl3.txt

( unofficial E-o translation of v2 can be found at http://www.esperanto.mv.ru/Cetero/gpl.html )

 

diskone.txt | disktwo.txt | dskthree.txt (list of contents for all files on each w/ DESCRIPT.IONs)

diskone.zip  | disktwo.zip | dskthree.zip (.IMG files w/ floppy-writing DOS .EXE stub + UNIMG + FD diskcopy)

d1-files.zip | d2-files.zip | d3-files.zip (files from each .IMG unpacked, if you prefer it)

 

d1-src.7z (5.5 Mb) -- everything except UPXDUMP (no srcs available ... until now!)

d2-src.7z (6.1 Mb)  -- everything except JLOAD (no srcs available, oops again)

d3-src.7z (8.0 MB) -- (never intended to be 100% open source but close enough)

d1-src.txt (224 Kb), d2-src.txt (279 Kb), d3-src.txt (236 Kb) -- archives' contents (date, size, name)

 

Eric Auer made a 2.88 MB .IMG version (also w/ individual files):    eric-rugxulo288.zip  (5.4 MB)

 

"BARE_DOS" 8086+/386+ FreeDOS image (Apr. 3, 2008; for flashing BIOS, minimal install, etc.):

(see MKBISO.ZIP , 16k, DOS .EXE makes .IMG into .ISO for CD-R; or maybe?? try MBOOTCD, w/ src)

bare_dos.zip  bare_dos.txt  (800k; 1.44 MB .IMG + DISKCOPY + SFX14436 + UNIMG)

misc. FreeDOS kernels (fully replaces MSDOS.SYS+IO.SYS or IBMBIO.COM+IBMDOS.COM)

KWC38632.SYS -- FreeDOS kernel ("K") compiled by Watcom C ("WC") for "386" and FAT12/16/32 ("32")

KTC8616.SYS    -- FreeDOS kernel ("K") compiled by Turbo C ("TC") for 8086 ("86") and FAT12/16 ("16")

etc ...

 

FreeCom shell (command.com replacement, srcs only; or try 4DOS instead [8086!] ):

com084_s.tbz (186+ ??, 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap; handles LFNs, DESCRIPT.ION)

com082_s.zip (8086+, "stable" 0.82pl3, uses KSSF or VSPAWN via "call /s" to temporarily swap out)

 

P.S. Get 0.82pl3 binary here or 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap binary here.

If you need a pre-compiled SUPPL library for use with Turbo C/C++, get it here:  SUPPL.ZIP
