Just to be very clear; I know we need FDNet. I was just kind of surprised when I looked at it. Given that it has a part of mTCP as a dependency I expected it to install mTCP, or at least only include the parts of mTCP that it needs. I didn't expect it to include the entire source code and developer documentation for mTCP.
And I understand that 1.4 is just weeks away, but the owners and maintainers of FDNet should have been updating it all along. I didn't know there was stale code because I always install mTCP directly. I don't have visibility to downstream users or what they are doing. The current solution looks fine, except please fix the web site ... it's always www.brutman.com/mTCP. The page at brutmanlabs.org is a mirror and doesn't live full time. (It's up for testing again.) -Mike On Mon, Mar 17, 2025 at 5:28 AM Jerome Shidel via Freedos-devel < freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Additional followup... > > On Mar 17, 2025, at 8:05 AM, jer...@shidel.net wrote: > > [..] > > Since the two packages will contain the same version of DHCP.
