Hi all, Some times ago I announced that I will always keep an up-to-date CD version of all FDNPKG repositories, so everyone could download the CD and use it as an offline set of repositories to install/update packages.
Yesterday I created a small FreeDOS boot image and added it to the CD. So now, the FDNPKG repositories CD is a bootable CD that boots into a minimalistic FreeDOS system with a few tools (FDISK, FORMAT, EDIT, SYS...) and FDNPKG. This makes it possible to use this CD on a clean PC to install the latest version of FreeDOS. There is no installer - you need to use FDISK, FORMAT and SYS by yourself. Then use FDNPKG to install whatever packages you need. After booting, a short instruction is displayed about how to install FreeDOS. This is not an ideal solution, but I believe it might come handy. The CD is available here (all_cd.iso): http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/ I haven't tested it thoroughly (just verified that I am able to boot and install at least one package), so please not hesitate to report any problems (solutions to these problems are welcome, too). ;) cheers, Mateusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
