Release notes for GeekDOS 19.04Ben Dibell is proud to present GeekDOS 19.04! This release features several improvements over it's predecessors.1. Games are now listed in a folder called GAMES.2. The installer supports (but does not require) the ability to format a hard disk partition before it installs.3. An unformat utility was added to GeekDOS 19.04 to allow you to unformat a drive you accidentally formatted.4. There is now two new color schemes for the menus in the DOS navigator GUI included with GeekDOS, blue menus and pink fever.5. Junk files such as files.bbs and file_id.diz have been removed from this release.6. There is a more beautiful CD boot sequence that shows the word GeekDOS in ASCII art.7. Since the CD says welcome to GeekDOS, the boot sequence now says "Starting GeekDOS..." with more details below.8. Some pre-set aliases allow you to do some tasks faster and easier. To shut down you system, instead of typing "C:\shutdown s" you would type halt or poweroff like in a Linux based machine. You can also type reboot to restart the machine. paint can now be invoked from any directory at the prompt, and so can mpxplay. Instead of having to type the non-sensicle "dn" to get back into the GUI, you can now type "gui" or "ui". I feel this to be a feature that should have been added many releases ago. I waited because it is not possible to use these aliases in other command interpreters or when you relaunch "command.com".9. Sets partition label to GEEKDOS when formatting during install.
We are proud to announce the release of FreeDOS 1.2! You can download it now from our Downloads page. This latest official FreeDOS distribution is the result of the hard work from many people. Thanks to everyone in the FreeDOS Project for their work towards this new release! There are too many of you to recognize individually, but you have all helped enormously. Thank you! I'm very excited for the new FreeDOS 1.2!FreeDOS 1.2 features an all-new installer that makes it easy to install FreeDOS. After you install FreeDOS, try the FDIMPLES program to install new programs or to remove any you don't want. FDIMPLES makes it easy to customize your FreeDOS the way you want it.
The first release candidate for FreeDOS 1.3 is now available for testing! FreeDOS 1.3 RC1 is meant as a test release, and we do want your feedback. Please discuss in either the freedos-user or freedos-devel email lists.FreeDOS 1.3 RC1 is available as several installation media: USB stick images, VMDK images, and CD images. Two prototypes of LiveCDs are being provided with RC1. However, one will be discarded for the FreeDOS 1.3 final release, depending on feedback. Both types have some live FreeDOS packages at boot and support temporarily installing/removing more by using FDIMPLES. Also, both will automatically start networking support when used inside VirtualBox or VMWare. For other environments, you will need to manually start it. So, let your voice be heard on which (if any) LiveCD you prefer. Download FreeDOS 1.3 RC1 and let us know what you think.
