Hi Jerome, I experimented a bit more with your installer CD to find out the steps how to install the programs I talked about in my last post. Luckily most things are already there. Unfortunately there are some bugs.
Crynwr and MTCP are on the CD so you could just install them if you detect VirtualBox. FDINST install F:\NET\CRYNWR.ZIP FDINST install F:\NET\MTCP.ZIP I zipped M2WAT in a FDNPKG compatible format: https://github.com/ulrich-hansen/M2WAT/blob/master/m2wat.zip <https://github.com/ulrich-hansen/M2WAT/blob/master/m2wat.zip> IF you approve it, download and add it to the CD / the repo and install it with: FDINST install F:\NET\m2wat.zip The lines: SET MTCPCFG=%dosdir%\MTCP.CFG SET WATTCP.CFG=%dosdir% .. REM DHCP are already in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. But there are bugs... Bug 1 In your AUTOEXEC.BAT you have a line: REM CHCP 858REM LH PCNTPK INT=0x60 So someone accidentally deleted a line break. It should read: REM CHCP 858 REM LH PCNTPK INT=0x60 Bugs2 The DHCP line won’t work as the C:\MTCP directory is not added to the PATH. The PCNTPK line will not work as C:\FDOS\DRIVERS\CRYNWR is not added to the PATH. Would this be fixed in FDNPKG or in the installer? Please add them to the PATH. Then remove the REM in both lines. Bug 3 Loading high PCNTPK will not work with option 2. So remove the „LH“ in this line. Bug 4 DHCP will not work because there is no MTCP.CFG found in C:\FDOS\. I suggest to copy the file SAMPLE.CFG in the MTCP.ZIP package from PROGS\MTCP to the root as MTCP.CFG. This will make sure MTCP.CFG is installed in C:\FDOS. I have done that and there is an updated version of MTCP.ZIP at: https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/mtcp.zip <https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/mtcp.zip> Now after "DHCP“ add another line for WATTCP autoconfiguration with DHCP C:\FDOS\BIN\M2WAT.COM Some things still have to be done manually by the user (configuring FTPSRV password files, configuring VirtualBox to bridged networking) but it’s a big step forward.
