Hi Ray, > I just downloaded and burned FDFULLCD.ISO... > Bootable CD install stops at "Configuring through DHCP".
Then it tried to download further updates but failed to communicate with your ADSL router or similar device. > How can I determine what did not get installed because of this? I think the whole install process did not finalize that way... > Is there a way to do an incremental install Yes. Please do a BASE install to make sure that your DOS is installed and bootable. You can always start the install again later to add more packages. You can also use fdpkg to install packages manually. Or, even easier, you can just do "cdd c:\fdos" and then "unzip some_file_on_cdrom.zip" to install the package "some_file" :-). FDPKG adds some extra things like automatic dependency checking and setup of packages, but at least ninety percent of the packages work perfectly after a simple UNZIP instead of FDPKG already. > http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdInstall points you to > http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdDependencies which contains a list of packages which will make the installer try to contact the internet during install. If you unselect those packages in the list of installable packages dialogue, your install should proceed without any DHCP troubles. As said, you can still add the network related packages later :-). Eric PS: I recommend that FreeDOS 1.1 will have a preselection "ALMOST FULL", which is like "FULL" but excludes packages that need internet or lots of disk space during install. So you get a quick install in "only" 100 MB ;-). Adding more packages can happen later based on manual choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
