Switches Ü
ßßßßßßßßß
Specifies special options in FreeDOS. Use this command only in your
CONFIG.SYS file.
Syntax: SWITCHES= /F /K /N
/F Skips the 2-second delay after displaying the "Starting FreeDOS..."
message during startup.
/K Forces and enhanced keyboard to behave like a conventional
keyboard.
/N Switches you from using the F5 or F8 key to bypass startup
commands.
When to use the switches command
If you have a program that doesn't correctly interpret input from an
enhanced keyboard, add switches=/k to CONFIG.SYS. The keyboard
will use conventional keyboard functions.
Using the /k switch with NANSI.SYS
If you use the switches=/k and you install the NANSI.SYS device
driver, use the /K switch on the device command line for NASNI.SYS.
