Hi all:
I'm working in an environment where port 80 is closed on the firewall in order
to enforce the use of a proxy server. I cannot figure out how to get fdupdate
or fdnpkg to use a proxy. Things I've tried:
C:\> set HTTP_PROXY = 10.40.6.31:3128
Adding "http.proxy = 10.40.6.31:3128" to WATTC
Hi Toby,
FDNPKG doesn't support proxy. The mystery is over :)
Can I ask what you are using FreeDOS for? Just curious.
I will add proxy support to FDNPKG for you by the end of this week. Will
let you know (and the list) when it's done.
cheers,
Mateusz

Thanks for the help, Mateusz. I'm not currently using FreeDOS for anything. I
just enjoy playing with operating systems to see what I can get them to do.
If I were to find a use for FreeDOS, it would be to eventually get a
Hyperterminal-like program running in OpenGEM. Laptops with serial ports
I do not advise to use FDUPDATE for anything - it's hackish, old and
unmaintained. IIRC, it wasn't supporting proxy anyway. I stopped
developing FDUPDATE years ago, and created FDNPKG as a better, leaner
replacement.
What you might want to do instead, is using FDNPKG in offline mode. This

Yeah, but a GEM based hyperterminal would be that much more cool :)

Maybe. I use ssh/scp/sftp for everything I do these days. Is gem able to

AFAIK, no. There was some unfinished work (long time ago) on a
quasi-multitasking GEM, but it was never reliable, and at least

I've used Ubuntu mini to setup virtual box vm servers. Kinda slick to be

Try last knoppix wich uses as default LXDE desktop
I run this system sucessfully on 300 mhz processor, 164 Mb ram.
Take a long time to startup but later has an usable speed,
runing from CD, installing on HD will have higher speed.

Thanks all for the mini Linux replies, but I think it would be über cool to
get a hyperterm running in Gem.
Follow up question: does Gem run on any os other than FreeDOS?
Sorry about any typos. Poking on my iPhone here while sucking nitrous at the
dentist. Autocorrect tried to turn "hyperterm"
