[Freedos-user] RHIDE help file

[Tom via Freedos-user]

I've installed RHIDE and all the DJGPP stuff and it seems to be working 
ok but when I try the Help from the menu or F1 I get an error box: 
'Attention: can't open the help file 'rhide'.'


Is this a separate package or missing from the package?

[Freedos-user] Off topic - hardware survival.

[Tom via Freedos-user]

Hope you dont mind this  but I was just wondering about hardware 
survival rates. I have a 486 from 92 that still works but most of my 
later machines have died before being 5y old. Id did have a 20 year old 
286 that had to go for space reasons even though it was still working. I 
was wondering how many old machines are still running out there and this 
seems a good place to find out!

Re: [Freedos-user] why isn't anyone answering my question?

Many mailing systems now ignore mails you send to a mailing list so you 
never see them without diving into the archives

Yes, that is the correct list, but it didn't come through. When you 
send something to the mailing list, you should get it in your own 
inbox when it is forwarded from the list. If you did get that, then 
maybe something happened on the mail server at just the wrong time.



Happy Hacking,

Isn't that the address where I can send questions to?

Many thanks.

Tom

Looks like your installation is broken, or online FreeDOS repositories
are flawed. Have you tried using Svarog386 instead?

Mateusz


I used fdinst to remove the packages and then reran fdnpkg update and 
got them installed OK
