Re: [Freedos-user] freedos and vmware problem - wattcp.cfg
Hi Mateusz, Ehm, no, I just installed the Freedos base. I have no clue on how to setup a network. Is it easy ? I guess I should install some software, but then I'll have the problem on how to put those files of Freedos. I wouldn't say that it is particulary easy, although it is not hard either ;-) http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/ might be an interesting page for that. All you need is download the WatTCP package, modify the watttcp.cfg file to your needs (IP, subnet mask, routing, etc..), and put this file somewhere intoyour PATH. Then, you will have to load a packet driver compatible with your (virtual) NIC. I am pretty sure that VMware has some generic emulation for NE2000 cards, so it shouldn't be a problem. You do not need WATTCP to use the network, only if you want to write network software yourself then you would need WATTCP or WATT32. The existing software which uses network already has WATTCP or similar libraries built-in anyway :-). Still you would need a WATTCP config file. Minimal wattcp.cfg: my_ip = dhcp netmask = 255.255.255.0 gateway = 0.0.0.0 domain_list = your.domain.com # domain, gateway, ip, nameserver will be set via DHCP Without using DHCP your wattcp.cfg can be for example: my_ip = 192.168.1.5 netmask = 255.255.255.0 gateway = 192.168.1.1 domain_list = dummy.com nameserver = 192.168.1.1 You also need in your autoexec: SET WATTCP.CFG=THEdirectoryWHEREyourWATTTCP.CFGfileIS Once you do all that, you will be able to download SCP2DOS, and use it. Note, that having a working network installation will allow you also to update automagically your FreeDOS system using FDUPDATE ;-) Or, maybe easier, just copy files to your DOS partition. Most operating systems understand the FAT filesystem :-) Eric -- ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Re: [Freedos-user] freedos and vmware problem
To boot from cd on a mac, hold down the C key while the mac is booting. It will then boot from the CD, and you can install as normal. However, this shouldn't be necessary, there are vm images already on the net you should be able to download one for freedos, and just drop it into your hd, and be all set. To install dos from the cd, you'll need a separate partition to load the dos onto, and it will have to be fat or fat32. The mac partition will not be readable from freedos, but that's not really an issue. After you get freedos installed on it's own partition, then you will need to go into vmware, and tell it to create a virtual machine from the partition you installed freedos onto. Hope this makes sense. If you have trouble, let me know, and I'll see if I can help further.

Re: [Freedos-user] freedos and vmware problem
Vmware does indeed have file sharing, but you shouldn't need it. When you're running osx, you can simply copy any files you want for dos directly onto the dos partition. Vmware will then pick those up when you dir the disk. You can copy and paste between vmware and osx, but I've not tried it, so have no idea how easy/hard this process is. I could find out though, :-). On Mar 28, 2009, at 4:12 PM, Mateusz Viste wrote: On Saturday 28 March 2009 21:58, cleanzero wrote: Thanks for the suggestions. I have now Freedos up and running.
