Re: [Freedos-user] Dhcp
hello I am a little confused about lynx. I looked at lynxbat.bat and the batch files says: set HOME=. set wattcp.cfg=%HOME% so is the batch file expecting to find wattcp.cfg in the current directory? I coppied wattcp.cfg to the directory where lynbat.bat is, on my computer it is c:\fdos\lynx I know wattcp.cfg is on my computer at c:\fdos\bin, that is where I copied it from should I edit the batch file to reflect this, the %, confuses me. like should I say: set wattcp.cfg=%dosdir%\bin\wattcp.cfg I did run the batch files but when I try to run lynx I get no such directory. I just tried it right now at the c:\ prompt- c:\fdos\lynx lynx c:\fdos\temp\: no such directory I could use some help figuring this out thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone On Jan 12, 2011, at 1:05 PM, ellsn...@aol.com wrote: When I installed lynx, I had to change some of the directories in the batch files. Check if the wattcp.cfg directory is correct in %dosdir%\lynx\lynxbat.bat. You should run %dosdir%\bin\lynx.bat because the batch file sets some environment variables lynx needs to run. However, you could set them from the command line, but it is easier to use the batch file. Hope this helps. ---Original Message- From: James Collins james.collin...@yahoo.com To: freedos-user freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wed, Jan 12, 2011 10:02 am Subject: [Freedos-user] Dhcp Hello, When I installed freedos, I have a MacBook pro running Mac os x snow leopard, the install got hung up on dhcp configuration.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dhcp
James, I'm not well versed on lynx - it is built on top of the WATTCP library. Try a simpler application like PING or FTP which also uses the WATTCP library before you move onto lynx - at least you will know you have the basic configuration settings correct. Somebody else already pointed out mTCP - http://www.brutman.com/mTCP . That has the basic apps in it, but it does not have a web browser. The support is very good though. :-) Mike -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dhcp
When I installed lynx, I had to change some of the directories in the batch files. Check if the wattcp.cfg directory is correct in %dosdir%\lynx\lynxbat.bat. You should run %dosdir%\bin\lynx.bat because the batch file sets some environment variables lynx needs to run. However, you could set them from the command line, but it is easier to use the batch file.

This may be a more basic question, but what format is the file in? Is it something that can be read across platforms, say audio?

I say almost because maybe?? someone somewhere figured out a way. And BootCamp does run Windows, so there's a glimmer of hope, but not much. A very clever developer could write a shim to fit between the (U)EFI firmware and FreeDOS. It certainly is quite possible to do that. UEFI allows the loading of images, so you can just boot the shim off the FreeDOS partition, have it set up an emulated BIOS in very high memory, then boot FreeDOS itself. -- Tactical Nuclear Kittens -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

Re: [Freedos-user] dhcp samba newbie question

I didn't see any DOS port of SAMBA, I also want to try is it doable with freedos on those floppies and that great amount of ram? I think 4MB of RAM is enough to start FreeDOS i have read about many tcp/ip stack flavors but can use other than mstcp to use msnet? any other way to get NBT there? (i prefer to use dhcp if possible) Yes, other TCP/IP available such as WATTCP (http://www.smashco.com/wattcp.asp) but no NETBEUI. If you want NBT you must install M$ Client I've never tried NETBEUI because only TCP/IP can go to Internet. any suggestion is very very very welcome. For DOS server I'm trying EZ-NOS (http://www.eznos.org), it's not hard to configure, you can try play around.
