I have been blissfully unaware of the packaging requirements for FreeDOS. I update mTCP a few times a year, and I know that is a lot of work to get right. Is there a FAQ or notes on how FreeDOS manages packages? If I can make the mTCP updates easier I will. Mike

Hello, I do agree with Rugxulo. Just adding my 2cts regarding FDUpdate (I'm the one responsible for creating the monster). Since I too often don't have networking in native DOS, I've never relied on FDupdate. Presumably it can (or could) do so, but I don't know the specifics. I don't know if

Hi, let's continue where I stopped a year ago. ;) I tried fdupdate to update my 1.1 installation. But, the DOS PC is still offline. I don't have a spare network cable. Is there any way to tell fdupdate/fdpkg where to find the files locally? I believe there are a lot of packages that are not

Hello, 2009/4/9 Eric Auer e.a...@jpberlin.de: MS DOS 6.22 has a tool that graphically shows a representation of memory, I think it was called msd.  Is there an equivalent for freedos? There are various tools for that, a nice one is Quarterdeck MFT Manifest which is now freeware.

I'm not certain about what is crashing. Changing to curl makes no difference at all. This works on my Pentium 4, so I suspect there is something specific to my 486 that is causing the problem. I wish the crash message was more descriptive. A dump of the processor's registers and more than

I could get it to work under vmware with wget believe it or not, but I haven't gotten it to work on real hardware even with curl. Another problem I've noticed is that fdupdate doesn't seem to record the new version of a package that it has updated. My 486 is passing memtest with flying colors.
