Re: [Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?

[Abe Mishler]

Bill,

Earlier this summer, one of the many helpful people here pointed out 
that the VHD format can be mounted directly by Windows. You can probably 
find a guide for doing something similar on Linux with whatever format 
you have chosen. The VM of course needs to be off while mounted by the 
host so this method may not be as convenient as networking. But I 
thought I would mention it as a possibility.

Best,
Abe

Re: [Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?

[regan]

Hello Bill, 

Using Freedos 1.2 and Virtual box Version 5.1.10 r112026 (Qt5.6.2)

When I installed Freedos, I installed the standard CD image, I got a second
disk path D:
I did this:
cd C:\fdos\bin
dir D:\net
C:
rem foreach package in the directory listing I did (each package) becomes
each zip file.
fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip
fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip
fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip

fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip
reboot

To test this I did the following..

I did a wget mySAN\filepath
eg:
wget 192.168.0.171:/unix/algol.txt 

... and it just worked.

I have the entire turbo gameworks, turbo pascal, turbo this-or-that toolbox
on 5.25" floppies somewhere.. ;-) ... BTW, I won a Xeon Phi as a university
prize but I have nothing to put it in, so it sits in the packaging, whats
the deal with the Phi thing in your signature?

No guide needed under VirtualBox

Install the FDNET package and reboot.

If you downloaded a CD version and did a FULL (not BASE) install, just:

1) boot the VM
2) attach the FreeDOS 1.2 CD
3) run FDIMPLES
4) Select FDNET under the networking group and pick OK.
5) reboot.

Done.

[Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?

[William Dudley]

Is there a simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?

1.2 is too new for there to be anything in the mailing list archives on
this.

I never got networking going in the previous FreeDOS release.  Getting files
in and out (especially out) of the VM is like pulling teeth.

Thanks,
Bill Dudley

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.2 official release!

[Jim Hall]

I am proud to announce the release of FreeDOS 1.2! You can download it from
our website at www.freedos.org.

The latest official FreeDOS distribution is the result of the hard work
from many people. Thanks to everyone in the FreeDOS Project for their work
towards this new release! There are too many of you to recognize
individually, but you have all helped enormously. Thank you!

DOS is one of the oldest PC operating systems. FreeDOS has an equally long
history. We started the FreeDOS Project in 1994 to create a free, open
source software version of DOS. We made our first Alpha release in
September 1994, and our first Beta in March 1998. In September 2006, we
finally released FreeDOS 1.0. And in January 2012, we released FreeDOS 1.1.

The new FreeDOS 1.2 is mostly an incremental change over FreeDOS 1.1,
although you'll find a few nice surprises.

FreeDOS 1.2 now makes it easier to connect to a network. We include a
revamped network setup and useful network applications to get you online.
Try the Dillo web browser for a graphical web experience, or the Links web
browser if you want just the text.

If you're interested in updated functionality, you can find new tools under
the Utilities section. For example, FreeDOS 1.2 provides several image
enhancement programs like Pngcrush and Gifsicle. Or you can enhance the DOS
command line with Unix-like utilities like sed, grep, tee, head, and bc.

Many people use FreeDOS to play games, and FreeDOS 1.2 now includes several
open source games for you to try. We include Freedoom and Boom for classic
first-person shooter fans. Arcade-style game fans will like Wing, a
familiar space shooter game, or Kiloblaster, a fast-paced arcade shooter.
Classic gamers will want to try Nethack, Invaders, Sudoku, and Tetris. For
those who want to play their own classic DOS games, we provide other tools
like Slowdown, so you can run certain older games on a fast modern computer.

But I think the first thing you'll notice about FreeDOS 1.2 is the new
installer! I wanted to make the install process an easy one, for new and
experienced users alike. And we have that in the new FreeDOS 1.2 installer,
thanks to Jerome Shidel. If you are a new user, the installer makes it easy
to install FreeDOS and get going with a few defaults. If you're an
experienced DOS user, you can unlock the Advanced installer that lets you
tweak the FreeDOS install to your preference.

I'm very excited for the new FreeDOS 1.2 distribution!
