Setup & Installation / ArcaOS 5.1.1 can't install on Acer Aspire.
« Last post by Adrian on November 15, 2025, 03:23:59 pm »
Hi,

Changed the UEFI and disable secure boot.
Acer starts, boots from USB install stick.
When choosing to install on harddisk and start the installer it gives an error that "config.sys is not found on B:"
It doesn't matter if you choose default installation or own menu.
Any idea's?

Setup & Installation / Re: Advised ideal partition size for install ArcaOS 5.1.1
« Last post by Adrian on November 15, 2025, 03:17:35 pm »
Hi,

I've made a different partitioning setting on the disk, 8Gb for ArcaOS (C), 8Gb for the ArcaOS emergency version (D), 1,5Gb for FAT16 DOS (E), 500Mb HPFS for installation (F), 16Gb HPFS for data only (G) and the rest is an JFS partition for collection.
The SSD is 256Gb, for OS/2 that is enormous. The problem with big partitions is that some software refuses to install. Or it will install but not work. E.g. RSJ CDwriter installs now correct and works. Even Coreldraw! 2.5 for `OS/2 installs, but unfortunately won't start.
Size does matter. To get a better control over partitions, a smaller SSD would be nice. To find a smaller one (64 or 128Gb) is hard stuff and such a disk is in some cases even expensive than an 256 or 512Gb one.
Os/2 is drowning in disk space.

Hi/2.

What's your WINOS2 mode, Standard mode or 386 Enhancd mode ?

If 386 Enhanced mode, check if display=vddvbe.386 is in [386Ehn] section of SYSTEM.INI.

 I was watching the presentation at Warpstock Roderick gave when he mentioned the new repo for WPI apps so I immediately added it to ANPM and was able to download and install everything on it - thanks Roderick! (and thanks Martin for showing it). It all works great. I agree with Martin that lswitcher and Dataseeker be included too.

 One thing I'm curious about - there was an alpha PMMail 3.26 version awhile back, but nothing about it since. Will there be any further releases? The alpha does not seem to recognize my license...

Regards,

Too bad it deleted the "thought process" that the AI was showing. It was kind of thinking of all the stuff that was going to require, but then it stopped, because it was not React language  ;D

Virtualization / Re: ArcaOS 5.1 on Apple Silicone

Hello, welcome fro to the forums.
I also have ArcaOS 5.1.1 working in 86box but it's rather sluggish there and wasn't as easy to install.

Just in case, there was a presentation last week at Warpstock about ArcaOS on Apple Silicon with 86Box.
You can check it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKfzZOrhxFc&t=7s

Hi. I just want to confirm that I have OS/2 Warp 4.52, ArcaOS 5.0, and ArcaOS 5.1.1 all working well in UTM (as of 4.7.4) on an M1 Macbook Air.

I also have ArcaOS 5.1.1 working in 86box but it's rather sluggish there and wasn't as easy to install.

edit: Attached UTM config for 5.1.1

Hello Roderick

May I suggest that lSwitcher to be included in the WarpIn installers?
-- https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/util/wps/lSwitcher-2-94-0-0.wpi

I want to make a WarpIn installer for DataSeeker to be included.

Regards
