Hi Carl,
As far as I know SAMBA has begun to implement them, although there was
some dispute as to reliability last time it was discussed. I agree about
the porting too, I'm not even aware of a true FreeDOS network client,
let alone one with these facilities? I currently have to use Microsoft'

Hi David,
1. LM authentication
2. SMB signing
Does Samba support those things? If so then at least there is hope that one
could port parts of the Samba code to DOS. I suppose the encryption code
may take up significantly more memory though?

Well, no
Hi Mark,
just run your programs from there.
Actually, unfortunately not for the ham radio applications I use at
least. I need to be able to write to the hard disk while maintaining
real-time performance for sending morse code, so...The USB sticks are
too slow

No, this is just an update to the procedure. Heck, I
can't even use the FreeDOS automated installers, since
they trash C: which is often a recovery partition.
I suppose someone more skilled than I could script the

Good day, all:
I am working on the next version of a procedure to add
FreeDOS to almost any WindowsXP computer in a dual-boot

either WindowsXP or FreeDOS.
