Re: [Freedos-user] Update wiki info on installing ftp on a virualbox guest?
I've got it up and running using the pdf manual on the mtcp homepage. https://www.brutman.com/mTCP/download/mTCP_2022-07-01.pdf Thanks Mike I would still like to see the wiki updated On Wed, 15 Mar 2023 17:33:14 -0500 Jennifer Brice wrote --- > I am trying to install ftp on a virtualbox guest and the wiki seems out of > date. > > http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Chapter_7 > > There is no fdos directory and also no sample.cfg in docs. > > I found an mtcp.cfg in the freedos directory and found samples cfg in > c:\net\mtcp\sample.cfg but when I copied it as c:\freedos\mtcp.cfg, then > edited it, the file was empty.

I don’t recall the origin of the text version. It is also regarding the 2015-07-05 release and most likely contains outdated information. I will delete it from the GitLab Archive and it won’t be in any future interim builds or OS releases. I do recall that it was included because PDF documents are not easily viewed under DOS. I don’t think we even provide a PDF viewer at present. We do provide a couple web browsers. I hope you will consider providing an additional version of the documentation in HTML format with future versions.

Re: [Freedos-user] Update wiki info on installing ftp on a virualbox guest?
Jennifer replied offline and responded that she was installing FreeDOS 1.3 using the livecd. I tried it for myself and I installed the full FreeDOS without sources to a new virtual machine. Until the wiki gets fixed look in C:\FREEDOS for the mTCP configuration file. The mTCP sample config file is in C:\NET\MTCP\SAMPLES\SAMPLE.CFG. Both files have the expected contents so I don't know why yours are empty. The only questionable thing I noticed was somebody converted the user documentation to a 293KB text file. That strips the formatting, diagrams and screen shots that I have in the PDF. Can we not do that in the future? Nobody is going to want to wade through a 293KB text file. -Mike On Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 5:59 PM Michael Brutman wrote: > What version of FreeDOS are you installing? > > If things are really borked then keep in mind that mTCP is a standalone > project and you can get all the original files at its website.

Re: [Freedos-user] Update wiki info on installing ftp on a virualbox guest?
What version of FreeDOS are you installing? If things are really borked then keep in mind that mTCP is a standalone project and you can get all the original files at its website. See http://www.brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP.html for the downloads and PDF documentation.

[Freedos-user] Update wiki info on installing ftp on a virualbox guest?
I am trying to install ftp on a virtualbox guest and the wiki seems out of date. http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Chapter_7 There is no fdos directory and also no sample.cfg in docs. I found an mtcp.cfg in the freedos directory and found samples cfg in c:\net\mtcp\sample.cfg but when I copied it as c:\freedos\mtcp.cfg, then edited it, the file was empty. I edited c:\net\mtcp\sample.cfg and it was empty too. What should I do? ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

[Freedos-user] CD-ROM Initialization
Hi. I installed FreeDOS normally but the CD/DVD-ROM drive is not working. During initialization the following message appears: "Attempting to use the UDVD2 CD driver, error #255 - failed. Unable to load an appropriate CD/DVD driver". My machine is a Dell Optiplex 790. The CD/DVD drive is working fine under Windows.
