I downloaded menuet but.....????
I downloaded menuet and then put the M-64.img file on a floppy disk, but it won't bootup on my computer!... What do i have to do to get it to boot? Is there a special way you have to put the OS on the disk? AAAARRRRRGGGGG, help please? :roll: :cry:

M-64.....That is the 64 bit Menuet. This forum is for the 32 bit Menuet. If you have 64 bit: Goto the other Menuet forum (link on the Menuet64 site...) If you don't have 64 bit: You must have a 64bit processor to run that. (read on) I think (because most people have 32bit) you need a M32 version, have a look at the distros: http://meos32.7.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=7 Jas2o, hopes he hasn't said too much...

Does it complain about long mode? If it does, then you don't have a 64-bit computer. If you are 100% sure that you have either AMD64 or EM64T then write on the 64-bit forums precisely what is the problem. Otherwise - use the 32-bit one (btw, it runs fine on 64-bit computer also).

Ok, so now i've downloaded the 32 bit .exe version. :roll: I used the executable to write the image to a floppy disk and it was successful. Next I put the disk in my drive and restarted the computer, to my amazment menuet started, it went through this hole setup deal, after pressing enter a few times it began to start up :D . Then i got this error message saying, ( bad sector please replace floppy ) :lol: :( I tried pressing a few keys ( ESC, Enter, Space, etc etc ) but to no avail.! :roll: So now what do i do???.. :? What options should i choose at the setup menu to get this system to start correctly? :? Please Help Me!!.. :( :oops:

this: bad sector please replace floppy means.... that you MUST replace your floppy be cause it's damaged and cannot be used... use a new floppy and it'll work :) good luck

use a new floppy and it'll work Smile You were right :D , i made a new floppy and it fired right up "cool" :o .. So is it possible to make more desktop shortcuts for other programs??? How do you change the mouse single click to a double click?? :roll: And also, menuet has to be installed with dos , right?? like freedos perhaps? www.freedos.org 8) ????? what do ya do with something like this, at least it's really neat! ????? :? :P :?:

yes, there is a application called icon manager to add/edit the icons on your desktop (dont forget to save changes to floppy when exiting ;) ) You cant do this right now unless you write new software or someone else writes it for you :p Menuetos has nothing to do with dos Well, It's not really usefull for daily usage ATM if you ask me :p
