Igor, have you tested the latest Kolibri, DosBox, and other new requirements with Euv4 code?
Hi Kat,
Yes, I have the latest Kolibri (0.7.5.0) and DosBox (0.73, ported to Kolibri) installed on my XP SP3. This my machine has dual boot - Windows XP/Mandriva 2008, and Windows XP here has dual boot too - XP/Kolibri. Kolibri uses the XP partition with Fat32.
But DOS32 of Euv4 is abandoned, so I use my own 3.1.1 with unlimited alphabet or bilingual 2.5. Both work Ok for me.
I ask because i had a non-catastrophic loss of files with winxp again, meaning the drives were trashed on 4 machines, but i had backups of the files.
I *must* get the data away from windoze, especially after reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330174 where they guess and want you to debug the problem of lost data for them. They go on "try this, and if it doesn't work, try this, if that doesn't work, try this....", but there's no fixes for these problems. It's amazing that microsoft can say if you use a raid system, have a drive over 64gigs, or push a lot of files around, you can expect data losses.
My Mandriva 2008 works with Windows XP's Fat32 better than XP itself ...
I consider a file server that's not windoze based, but that does not solve the problem that i have 12 computers running winxp that will need to push the same number of files around, and still lose them.
So Igor, , or anyone using Kolibri or another dos32 system (dos7 from win95b?), how is Euv 4 on it?
Use Linux or FreeBSD, DOS32 is not that good to make the file server, and Kolibri is too young for now. Kolibri is not a dos32 like system, it just uses the ported DOSBox to get the dos32 mode and uses Fat32 or NTFS of Windows. And I do not know if there is some file manager for dos32, which works Ok with big HDs. NC and DN both do not give the proper disk size on dos32.
