Windows 3.1 installation
Hello.
Quoted 1 line · Bernhard Bialas
Unfortunately, after the second disk, the setup of Win 3.1 like to reboot the computer.
This is very unusual for Win3.1. How exactly does it tell you that it wants to reboot? AFAIK only some modern Windoses like to reboot during install, while Win3.1 only asks you to reboot (optionally) when the installation is completed. Your problem might be elsewhere.

I am using dosemu 1.31
Win3.1 won't work on 1.3.1. You need CVS HEAD to get it installing/running.

and Kernel 2.6.5
This one is strongly not recommended to use with dosemu. Actually all 2.6 kernels are not dosemu-ready yet (I still have a bunch of patches to pass by Linus), but <=2.6.5 are especially discouraged.

You are right. I have tried again. After the second disk the Windows setup program has to be started (for disk 1 and 2 a dos-based setup is running). This fails under dosemu 1.3.1 The mesasage with the reboot is only for this case, if the windows setup fails (like in my case).

OK. I see, I have to read the manuals... :)

I have noticed this already.However, most of my DOS-application works (also DPMI), but REBEL 12 , which was running under Kernel 2.4 now fails to run. Probably because of the Kernel 2.6.5
I will make some additional tests within next time..

I have managed to download the actual CVS-version of dosemu and win 3.11 works fine! Thanks for the good work to the dosemu team.
For all who have problems with CVS: here is the way I get the actual version:
1. Install on you computer the CVS client.
2. Connect the computer to the internet
3.Open a xterm/console
4. Execute the following command:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/dosemu \checkout dosemu
Now the actual source codes will be downloaded to your hard disk in a dosemu folder.
At least I had success with this.
Best regards
Bernhard
