Hi, Is it possible to "hide" config.sys content, so it will not be displayed on the screen. Example, MS Ramdrive displays different info's on the screen. Is it possible to get at blank screen instead.?

No, not with normal methods. The messages are put out by the various device drivers using low leave DOS functions or in some cases BIOS commands. There are some commond options that reduce some of the messages, but not all. They all like to get their copyright displayed no matter what you want. You could write a couple of run and exit device drivers that turn the video display adapter output off at the hardware level, simple stuff to do. But the problem is, the CONFIG.SYS processor makes multiple passes through the file and executes some items like HIMEM.SYS, EMM386 first before running non DOS system *.SYS files, so this would not work for their messages. Not sure where RamDrive falls into the priority, but as it is an system driver it might get loaded on the first pass.

Thanks for the reply. :)

BLACKOUT.EXE (C) Dr. GJC Lokhorst 02/16/1993 Suppresses messages from CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT First line of CONFIG.SYS: device=[drive:][directory]blackout.exe Last line of AUTOEXEC.BAT: [drive:][directory]blackout.exe ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/sysutil/blackout.zip This is a program from the Garbo archive worth experimenting.It was tested on ms-dos 3.3 to 5.0 but may work on other versions.The download is 2 Ko.Good luck.

Have a look at the ECHO command, which can suppress some of the screen displays. Good luck - Keep us posted.

Echo: Displays or hides the text in batch programs when the program is running. (including autoexec.bat) Doesn't work in config.sys
