I�ve downloaded the indicated file to create a boot CD as indicated in http://www.menuetos.net/cddl.htm, but the instruction is to read the "readme" folder, but it doesn�t exists in http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=256752 , only one compacted file, MCD.ISO. I tried to burn it directly using Nero, but it didn�t worked. What are the instructions?? Another question is how can I get MenuetOs directly in an HD. The documentation only brings some explanation about diskettes and CD, nothing about HDs. This would be the perfect thing for me. Thanks in advance. [ ]�s Denilson

Btw, the ISO can be opened by multiple managers like 7-Zip or some ISO-only supporting applications. I will try NERO right now - I'll post you the results... EDIT: Wait a minute - this CD has only applications - no boot!!! You still need to boot Menuet from FDD.

I need the x86 one but I want to put it on a CD, or I guess I could put it on a USB flash drive if someone explains how to boot from that.

(+You have to be admin to write to USB devices.) www.menuetos.be/beta/mdwbeta.exe All the data on the USB disk will be erased and the drive will be truncated to 1.38MB (Reformat to get the real capacity back) The downloadable iso file is not bootable (last time i checked)

Posts: 243 Feb 13 08 8:02 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Depends on the BIOS you have, some advertise it, others don't. there is no uniform way to figure it out. A good start would be to check the boot order in the BIOS setup for USB ,flash,removable, USB-ZIP,USB-FDD,USB-HDD,... or any other "hint" or use the so called "Boot menu" on some bioses. On my current phoenix-award BIOS, i have to first insert the USB drive, start the PC, press F8 to access the "boot menu" and select the drive. Most PC's younger than ~4years do support the USB-HDD standard tough.(eg every PC i could test has this) But MenuetOS can't be booted with hdd emulation...yet. 6 months ago i bought a flash drive that had 2048 byte sectors instead of the usual 512. (As usual this was not mentioned on the packaging) This way you can't use floppy emulation or HDD emulation, but you can boot from it as a CD. I didn't try a "el torito" iso on it yet. It might work... booting from a USB disk that pretends to be a CD that pretends to be a diskette... interesting :-) [update] And it actually works , amazing.

Posts: 243 Feb 16 08 1:31 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Since MenuetOS currently only works with a Realtek RTL8029 actually gettting online might not be possible. The following cards might also work (But we don't know until they are tested...) Realtek RTL8029 - works fine Accton Technology - not tested Windbond 89C940 - not tested Via 86C926 - not tested SureCom NE34 - not tested Winbond - not tested Holtek HT80232 - not tested MenuetOS does have a local loopback, you can start the http server and "surf" to it with the browser. (More info in stack.txt on the diskette)

You can find the files and instructions once you login to the forums here.... http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?p=51973#51973 Jason
