Hello! I wrote an online updater for FreeDOS. It's purpose is to download an index file from the FreeDOS Update server, and compare the list of packages which are on the server whith the packages installed on the system. If it find any "remote" package with a different version than the local one, it will propose to update it. The whole program isn't finished yet (v0.50), but is working fine. It have a pre-configured update URL pointing to "http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/fdupdate";, that's where I am storing the newest freedos packages (the url may changes later to something more "official").
FDUPDATE requires the following packages: FDPKG (installed by default with FreeDOS) WGETX (may be downloaded at http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/fdupdate/wgetx.zip) The FreeDOS updater itself may be downloaded from: Bin: http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/dos/fdupdatx.zip Src: http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/dos/fdupdats.zip Obviously, you need a packet driver and a working internet connection to use FDUPDATE. Any comments are welcome! bye, Mateusz Viste ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
