True. I'm happy to say that I can get away with using Linux at least
parts of the time. But I still need to fire up my DOS-partition to run
LDraw and friends.
BTW, do anybody know the solution for a current problem with my MSDOS
system? When I hit "-", it turns into a "/". Likewise, "+" turns into
a "-". This works properly in Windows 95, but fails under MSDOS, which
means that it also fails under LEdit. And as you all know, hitting
something like "Y-8 RET" generates "Y/8 RET", which crashes LEdit, so
I'm in a bit of trouble here.
I have the current thingeys in my AUTOEXEC.BAT, which should have fixed
the problems:
c:\windows\command\mode.com con cp prep=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
c:\windows\command\mode.com con cp sel=850
Upon execution when I boot the DOS-partition, these lines generate these
error messages. The error messages are in Norwegian, but I've tried to
translate them to English:
> c:\windows\command\mode.com con cp prep=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
"Får ikke tilgang til skriftfilen for tegntabellen"
In English: "Can not get access to the scriptfile? for the character? table"
> c:\windows\command\mode.com con cp sel=850
"Tegntabell ikke klargjort"
In English: "Character? table not ready."
Any suggestions?
Oh, and I was careless enough to let Windows format a DOS-partition the
other day. Of course, it also wrecked one of my Linux-partitions. It
probably considers any non-DOS partitions as garbage. (Yes, I had a
backup, but it's still annoying.)
