Hi, You can install additional software in FreeDOS using "packages". Either by downloading a package first, and then installing it on your PC, or (if your FreeDOS setup is connected to the internet), installing it online.
For both steps, please make sure you have the FDNPKG tool. I'm not sure it's installed by default with FreeDOS v1.1. If not, you can get it here: http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net -- Case 1 (if you have internet connectivity) -- simply type this: FDNPKG INSTALL OPEMGEM -- Case 2 (if you do not have network connectivity) -- first get the opengem package from there: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/util/opengem.zip ...and copy it on your disk, for example to C:\. Then, type this: FDNPKG INSTALL C:\OPENGEM.ZIP cheers, Mateusz On 17/08/2015 10:32, jubalh wrote: > Hello, > > Yesterday I installed FreeDOS for the first time. > I used the latest version and did a "full" install because i want to > have all software. > > I would like to run http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=opengem which > I suppose should be installed on a full install.
