Network related are: fprot wattcp aspi scsi usbdos via wget dfl cdrtool lynx arachne hxrt lnxsmal crynwr fdstpop bsflite openxp vnc. Big are: xharbor kraptor doom vi* fpascal owatcom. So if you install without network, you have no fprot (clamav clamscan can be downloaded from Rugxulo) and no VIA onboard sound / ASPI / SCSI / USB drivers (but you can use USB BIOS support instead) and no network browsers / similar. Having no ASPI / SCSI also limits your ability to write/burn CD/DVD. SCSI harddisk will still work because BIOS supports them :-). > Suggests another solution: Do not install network related packages > at that moment - install them later. This avoids the MOMENT X hang. > ---> I didn't try this option, because i want all the packages See the list above - you have the choice between having to install a FEW packages manually later and having crashes during install and incomplete installations... I strongly recommend the former! You also say you want FreeDOS as alternative for MS DOS. MS DOS only contains BASE packages not ALL packages. If you only install BASE of FreeDOS, then install is a lot easier. Actually you can install almost all packages (only avoid network) and still have easy install. You can install network and remaining packages after initial install. > > 2 crash in vmware) you must choose 1 or 3 > ---->MENUDEFAULT=2,5 > ---->MENU 1 - Load FreeDOS with EMM386, no EMS (most UMBs), max RAM > ---->MENU 2 - Load FreeDOS with EMM386+EMS and SHARE > ---->MENU 3 - Load FreeDOS including HIMEM XMS-memory driver > ---->MENU 4 - Load FreeDOS without drivers Interesting that EMM386 "works if". But again, please find out whether updating EMM386 to JEMM386 makes option 1 AND 2 work. You can also update HIMEM to HIMEMX.

Networking in DOS is not simple... Maybe this is why MS DOS never installed networking itself, you had to do it yourself. > > (*) my point of view about the script problem, I think the > main reasons are: > > > - c:\fdos\temp directory isn't created > > - FreeDos by default doesn't start autoexec Try if installing without network first and installing network later helps. Maybe TEMP etc would be created AFTER the hang. You can use FDPKG to install packages later. > ---->my FDconfig.sys > ---->SHELLHIGH=C:\FDOS\bin\command.com C:\FDOS\bin /E:1024 /P=C:\autoexec.bat Check if you have a working command.com in c:/fdos/bin and check if your autoexec.bat exists. Also remove the HIGH from the SHELLHIGH line and check if that helps. > ---->You give some ideas, and i will try, but really i haven't > big problems because i used MsDOS in the past. The FreeDOS CD meant for MS DOS users is not fdfullcd, it is fdbasecd!
