It would appear this didn't get there first time because the address I posted it from wasn't subscribed (I think). ----- Forwarded message from Stephen Stafford <ssta@clothcat.org> ----- Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2004 17:31:20 +0100 From: Stephen Stafford <ssta@clothcat.org> Reply-To: Stephen Stafford <ssta@clothcat.org> Subject: Re: [Fractint] Re: Multiple Boot for FractInt Users To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Hi, I had a spare half hour, so I threw together a bootable iso image which uses freedos. It's a first approximation/proof of concept only, it's buggy as all hell and the UI isn't exactly great or intuitive. You can find it at: http://www.clothcat.org/scratch/fractint.iso After you boot, you'll want options 1, 1, 2 at the three menus...eventually I want to remove so many menus, that will depend on me having longer than a spare half hour though :) Then "cd FRACTINT" and run "fractint.exe" The FRACTINT directory is just a totally clean unzip of the distribution of 20.0 from spanky, it might be sane to chage that at some point. Some of the available resolutions crash the machine, although most of the testing I've done has been in VMWare, so don't take that as gospel since it does some weird funky stuff with odd resolutions. Cheers, ----- End forwarded message ----- Further to this, all resolutions which I would expect to work appear to work fine if I reboot the machine using the CD rather than trying to run it in vmware, so that seems okay. I hadn't realised before how snappy a bare DOS boot on a 1.5G machine would be.
