FreeDOS help system (hhstndrd 1.0.8 en)[install]

Command: install

INSTALL runs a TSR program (a program that stays in memory), without an environment, instead of using something like lh or loadhigh. INSTALL loads a TSR program into low or conventional memory, whereas INSTALLHIGH loads the TSR program into high memory. INSTALL is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.

Syntax:

install=[drive][path]filename [options] drive The drive letter, e.g. C: path The directory, e.g. \example\ filename The filename of the tsr to run, e.g. test.sys

Options:

options These are the options which will be passed to the TSR. They are not options for the 'install' command.

Comments:

INSTALL loads the program specified by drive:\path\filename. It is generally used to load TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs with a minimal environment block. The options are for the program itself; refer to documentation that came with your particular software for supported options and usage. INSTALL is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file in order to work.

Examples:

IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS: install=C:\fdos\bin\ctmouse.exe
