[Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?
Is there a simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ? 1.2 is too new for there to be anything in the mailing list archives on this. I never got networking going in the previous FreeDOS release. Getting files in and out (especially out) of the VM is like pulling teeth.

If you downloaded a CD version and did a FULL (not BASE) install, just: 1) boot the VM 2) attach the FreeDOS 1.2 CD 3) run FDIMPLES 4) Select FDNET under the networking group and pick OK. 5) reboot.

Re: [Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?
Hello Bill, Using Freedos 1.2 and Virtual box Version 5.1.10 r112026 (Qt5.6.2) When I installed Freedos, I installed the standard CD image, I got a second disk path D: I did this: cd C:\fdos\bin dir D:\net C: rem foreach package in the directory listing I did (each package) becomes each zip file. fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip fdinstall install d:\net\(each package).zip reboot To test this I did the following.. I did a wget mySAN\filepath eg: wget 192.168.0.171:/unix/algol.txt ... and it just worked. I have the entire turbo gameworks, turbo pascal, turbo this-or-that toolbox on 5.25" floppies somewhere.. ;-) ... BTW, I won a Xeon Phi as a university prize but I have nothing to put it in, so it sits in the packaging, whats the deal with the Phi thing in your signature?

Re: [Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?
Bill, Earlier this summer, one of the many helpful people here pointed out that the VHD format can be mounted directly by Windows. You can probably find a guide for doing something similar on Linux with whatever format you have chosen. The VM of course needs to be off while mounted by the host so this method may not be as convenient as networking. But I thought I would mention it as a possibility.

Abe, Running Linux, so Windows ability to mount VHD is not useful. Thanks, Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.

Jerome, When I try this, I see this on screen after selecting "OK": install d:\net\fdnet.zip (white text on blue) Aborted. C:\> If I type "install", I get 'bad command or filename - "install".' >From where does the "install" program come? dir /s install.exe returns "File not found." Ditto for "install.com".

Regan, Where is the "fdinstall" program? I cannot find one on my FreeDOS install. When I do "dir /s fdinstall.exe" I get "File not found.". Ditto for " fdinstall.com".

Ah-hah. Nothing works if you have switchar='-'. NOW, fresh boot, FDIMPLE manages to install FDNET package. Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.

Re: [Freedos-user] Simple guide for networking FreeDOS 1.2 in a VirtualBox VM ?
Jerome, Thanks, that was useful. It would be better if it also discussed the settings needed in VirtualBox. I figured it out eventually but it took me a bit of googling to figure out.

When it comes to settings, I’ve mostly just be using the ones that VirtualBox defaults to when installing DOS.

Getting files > in and out (especially out) of the VM is like pulling teeth. First of all, networking is not necessarily directly related to getting files to/from virtual media. Not counting mount / loopback (or whatever it's called), you can copy files to/from virtual disks (off-line) with various tools, e.g. GNU Mtools (which are, of course, well-supported under GNU/Linux): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtools Just extracting a file from a virtual disk is even easier. You can use WinImage dude's EXTRACT or even 7-Zip's 7z to extract from floppy .img. Plus, 7-Zip's 7z also supports .vhd (and others). While .vhd is not well-supported under Linux (unlike Win7), you can indeed use VBox or QEMU to mount / boot it, which (maybe??) should be even easier to later access with host integration tools (Linux shared folders). But as far as the traditional networking goes, for sharing files it has been suggested to use mTCP's FTPSRV: http://freedos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Chapter_6 But do not get your hopes up too high for DOS networking. While there is some limited support, expecting a full HTML5 stack with Javascript is definitely expecting too much. There are also SSH2 tools, but I don't know how well they work. Same with e-mail clients and the like. It's not necessarily worth assuming perfect stability there. Don't expect too much. We're lucky that both FTP and HTTPS even halfway work sometimes. Expecting everything modern from SAMBA to GnuPG to whatever else isn't going to end well. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
