Tom suggested in another message thread the removal of MiniBox from the release media.
I had never used it. So, I gave it a quick try. I though it was a sort of command shell. But, that does not appear to be the case. It seems to be a wrapper for several Linux commands. Minibox Commands: beep cat cd clear cp date echo ls mkdir mv help pwd rm rmdir sh time Most of these have FreeDOS equivalents and are not needed. Usage is basically “minibox ls”, to perform the ls command. A bigger issue is many commands did not work under RC2. For example, “sh” and several other commands generate the following output in VirtualBox: C:\>minibox sh Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV Page fault at eip=00004240, error=0004 eax=000ba9c0 ebx=000ba990 ecx=00000007 edx=00000000 esi=00000000 edi=00004180 ebp=000ba428 esp=000ba3e0 program=C:\UTIL\MINIBOX\EN\MINIBOX.EXE cs: sel=00a7 base=00400000 limit=000bffff ds: sel=00af base=00400000 limit=000bffff es: sel=00af base=00400000 limit=000bffff fs: sel=008f base=00007d20 limit=0000ffff gs: sel=00bf base=00000000 limit=0010ffff ss: sel=00af base=00400000 limit=000bffff App stack: [000ba498..0003a498] Exceptn stack: [0003a3d4..00038494] Call frame traceback EIPs: 0x00004240 C:\>logger This also occurs under T2411. Since I did not have an instance of FreeDOS 1.3 in VirtualBox, I did not try the program under that OS version. Regardless, I propose removing MiniBox from the install media. Please let us all know your opinion on its removal.
