Re: [Freedos-user] How can I resume an unfinished FreeDOS installation?
Hi! To avoid such a freeze while installing FreeDOS 1.0, try this: I would recommend to install without network, see: http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdInstall You can find a list of internet-using packages here: http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.FdDependencies ... Installing again will skip some of the steps you already did, but you will still have to type all configuration and package selection choices again. Note that only fdfullcd freezes, not fdbasecd :-). I've started to install FreeDOS, it's installed everything, then the configuration part began as expected. The machine freezed at Configuring through DHCP, and I needed to restart it. Now how can I resume the configuration procedure, without starting the installation again from the start? I'm installing FreeDOS in a VMware virtual machine, but I don't think it matters regarding this question. That is a good question... Maybe Blair, Bernd or Mateusz know an answer? I really recommend that FreeDOS 1.1 will not try to use the internet during INITIAL install. You can always add internet related packages later with FDPKG or FDUPDATE. That gives you a working DOS right away and some time to figure out the network configuration at any later point when you want to download further packages. Given that the FDUPDATE collection - which would be the main source for updated packages for making FreeDOS 1.1 in the first place - does not have all BASE updates yet, I assume that FreeDOS 1.1 will be base only in the first version anyway. This has the good side effect that none of the internet related packages will be on the 1.1 ISO. Everybody who sees a missing BASE package in the FDUPDATE collection can help us to reach 1.1 by telling the list or Mateusz about the missing update or, even better, by making a fresh package for our collection himself :-). You can find the collection here: http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/fdupdate/ A list of current version numbers is here and here: www.freedos.org/cgi-bin/lsm.cgi?mode=dirdir=base http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/fdpkgnew.txt the second page might be more up to date - let me know if you find a file for which freedos.org is outdated.

[Freedos-user] Packet Driver install problem - New to Freedos
I just did a full clean install of Freedos and have only one small problem so far. When I tried to use the networking.internet capabilities it seems that I didn't get a packet driver for my ehternet card installed correctly or something When installing I noticed that when it tried to Configuring thru DHCP it failed everytime. My system is on a old eMachine computer which I have no idea what kind of ethernet card I have but Windows and Ubuntu used it OK. I am also on a home network with a router. Any help would be great...

After some looking I found the ehternet card I have to be a Linksys LN100TX version 5.0 Hope this helps. Jacob Tennant - K8JWT - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freedos-user] How can I resume an unfinished FreeDOS installation?
Good you are asking this. I wanted to ask this to but I have forgotten. The problem is that the selection dialog does not wait long enough and I find a standard wait time is a bad thing so or so. The setup should wait until the user answers. Or even better... Ask all questions at start and then install without more asking. -mr MegaBrutal schrieb: Hi, I've started to install FreeDOS, it's installed everything, then the configuration part began as expected.

Re: [Freedos-user] Fresh XCOPY bugs
My problems with XCOPY are not as they first seemed. Windows renders the directories of interest on the CD as D:\F-PROT and D:\GAMES\QUEEN.SAV, but FreeDOS (at least the current version) renders them as F_PROT and QUEEN_SA. It is some comfort to find that MS-DOS 6.22 does the same. So file and directory name support seem to be involved, but it's not clear that it is XCOPY that is misbehaving. I see that I can MOVE C:\F_PROT C:\F-PROT, so the hypen is supported there. I want to reinstall those two programs from scratch to see afresh how folders and files are named. It also occurs to me that the CD file system may well be a factor. More on this when I can get to it. --John Hupp - Original Message - From: John Hupp [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 9:54 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] Fresh XCOPY bugs I'm using XCOPY for a selective restore CD, and for most directories it works fine, but I have identified a couple cases where it fails due to the directory name. Where D: is the CD: Case 1: --- XCOPY /E /V /Y /I D:\GAMES\F-PROT C:\GAMES\F-PROT First of all, XCOPY asks Does F-PROT specify a file name or directory name on the target? With the /I switch, it is not supposed to ask me that question, and it does not ask for copies of other directories. Worse, though it does create C:\GAMES\F-PROT, it does not copy any of the contents of the F-PROT directory. Instead, it begins copying into F-PROT other GAMES sub-directories: GAMES\ABUSE gets copied to GAMES\F-PROT\ABUSE, GAMES\DOOM to GAMES\F-PROT\DOOM, etc. Case 2: --- XCOPY D:\GAMES\F-PROT C:\GAMES\F-PROT Again it asks File or Directory, and that is OK without the /I switch here. But after I answer Directory, XCOPY copy responds with: File not found - F-PROT 0 file(s) copied Case 3: --- XCOPY D:\GAMES\QUEEN.SAV C:\GAMES\QUEEN.SAV The response is similar to Case 1, except that XCOPY does not ask File or Directory. Instead, it copies none of the F-PROT contents but immediately begins copying other GAMES sub-directories into GAMES\F-PROT (as in Case 1). Case 4: --- XCOPY D:\GAMES\QUEEN.SAV C:\GAMES\QUEEN.SAV The response is exactly the same as for Case 2. --John Hupp - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freedos-user] LNE100TX driver found,making progress...
Hi Jacob, great you found a packet driver for your NIC! I also found it at: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2childpagename=US%2FLayoutcid=1166859880202packedargs=sku%3D1115416833483pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapperlid=8020233483B03displaypage=download Driver version 5 seems to be OK. I assume you saved the file from the zip-directory pktdrv to your directory C:\NET. Now add a line to your autoexec.bat LH C:\NET\LNE100TX.COM 0x60 If highloading the driver is not possible, a simple C:\NET\LNE100TX.COM 0x60 might do as well. Now for instance download the latest Arachne webbrowser from this location: http://www.glennmcc.org/a193gpl/ Run the install file. Let arachne detect your driver. Feed the browser information about your network (IPs, gateway, dns etc.) Run Arachne. Have fun!
