The file fd360.bin is a floppy disk image :
- targets 8088/8086 computers
- for real 360kb floppies or virtual machines such as QEMU
- has the cp command bug fixed and as a consequence the sys installation command is working
- is compiled with SMC/WD network card support. An example such card is 8003WC B 2692. Kernel is configured for: IRQ = 3, IO base memory address = 280, RAM based address = 0xd000. These settings need to be matched on the card with jumper W1.
- is compiled with a fix for the SMC/WD network driver (fixing a bad checksum error message)
- is compiled for FAT filesystem boot
- is a stable and tested version of ELKS
From DOS you can use the dskimage command from M. Brutman: dskimage fd360.bin 0:40:2:9 to deploy the fd360.bin on a 360kb diskette.
From Linux use the dd command: dd if=fd360.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 count=360 where fd0 is your 360kb floppy drive.
The archive bin_commands.zip contains all commands and applications currently available for ELKS. After installation you need to unzip and copy these files in the /bin folder of your ELKS hdd installation.
