Hi,
I played a little with fdav yesterday and found out the following things (in case that you want to keep it in FD distribution):
a) fdav seems to be necessary at all, otherwise the space is wasted, it can be used with GUI and commandline,
b) the latest usable clamav virus definition is main.cvd, version 54, published: 11 Oct. 2011, size: 30.750.647 Byte.
It only works without a daily definition! (the version 51 at ibiblio does)
I also tested version 55 and 56 they even did not work with 2 GB RAM on a 2 GB HD with 1,3 GB free space!
You can download it at: https://web.archive.org/web/20120924070230/http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/
GNU / GPL? No idea, but this was the same problem with the older version at ibiblio.
So it seems that the maximum .cvd size seems to be anywhere at 30 MB, no idea why.
c) recommended RAM: ca. 128 MB (worked not with 96 MB but with 104 MB)
d) recommended free space on HD: in about 3 x 30 MB, I recommend more, the tmp files are stored at: C:\freedos\temp
e) How to test if it works: Add bonus CD and let it check for viruses, it finds a "virus" at d:\packages\util\clamav.zip
with name: "Phishing.Heuristics.Email.SSL-Spoof".
f) I am not sure, but it maybe that it is not recommended to have more xy.cvd files with other versions in the folder.
At least it did not work at all when I tested.
g) You can find creation date and version number at the header of the .cvd files.

Hi,
a simple idea how to save 27 MB of files:
I just tested the latest FD2210, c:\util\clamav, alltogether: 27.039.846 Bytes.
There is a main.cvd (21.253.696 Byte) and a daily.cvd (2.517.688) together with some .exe files
There is a main.cvd (21.253.696 Byte) and a daily.cvd (2.517.688) together with some .exe files
and some "xy.1" files with ending "1". So far ok.
Clamconf.exe exits with an error message:
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable.
Optional features supported: AUTOIT_EA06 BZIP2 RAR
Database directory: /dev/env/DOSDIR/lib
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable.
Optional features supported: AUTOIT_EA06 BZIP2 RAR
Database directory: /dev/env/DOSDIR/lib
Clamdtop exits with an error message:

Abnormal program termination: Invalid command-line arguments in setup at line 1144

Clamscan runs through within 1 second with no found viruses and the following message:
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable
LibClamAV Warning: Cannot dlopen libclamunrar_iface: file not found - unrar support unavailable
LibClamAV Error: cl_load(): Cant get status of /dev/env/DOSDIR/lib
ERROR: Cant get file status.

Freshcla.exe exits with the error message:
ERROR: Cant open/parse the config file /dev/enu/DOSDIR/lib/clamav.cnf
ERROR: Cant open/parse the config file /dev/enu/DOSDIR/lib/clamav.cnf
Sigtool offers the whole options - that`s all. So I was unable to make this 28 MB of files work.
At: ibiblio at https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/system/clamav/
there is a file fdavx.zip (2010-02-222).
there is a file fdavx.zip (2010-02-222).
If you insert the files fdav.exe and fdav.hlp in the folder C:\util\clamav and start it in virtualbox
(FD Anti-Virus 0.2.2 - keep in mind that you need a lot of RAM for the virus database!!!)
you get a GUI that says: "Loading the virus database, then you have to wait a while - and
if you have enough RAM it starts with searching for viruses. I first used 32 MB of RAM and waited
more than 10 minutes for start, then I gave up. With 96 MB RAM "Loading the virus database" was done within
a minute. Then "Scanning" runs and shows a progress bar. As there is no virus within my virtual machine
I cannot check if it really works, but after in about 15 minutes it exits without any error messages
(no message box) with an information what the second option would do.
So I think it would make sense to add "fdav.exe" in this folder or to remove it completely.
One more thing:
I found this in Tree 3.7.2 history:

Tree.com 3.7. and 3.7.2 have the same hash value whereas tree 3.7.1 from Jim Hall has a different

I just tested FD 2210 - they use tree.com with 9.893 Byte, same as 3.7 and 3.7.2
Could someone check and if necessary, correct this as the newer version number is irritating?
Thx

4) Split it into 2 CD's. it's a BONUS CD, to be used after install
anyway.
btw dowloading 900 MB .zip over a 4MB/s download link is a PITA; this
alone should recommend a split.
