I've been net booting freedos to play battle tech I no problem. Even with a ramdisk though, I can't get battle tech II to work. I picked up a packet driver for the D845PEBT2 built in nic, but whether it's wget or lynx, trying to execute the application simply causes the computer to reset. Uge! Network booting is nice if you can network where dos is nice with say Linux filesystem support because it's simple. Microsoft client is what I need, but there are no free ndis drivers for my built in Intel nic. There are no dos drivers for my AC97 sound card either.
Would someone pretty please replace Microsoft client with something that works with crynwr style packet drivers? Microsoft hasn't updated Microsoft Client 3.0 in an inordinately long time. It would be nice if some of the more common network cards for which there are no NDIS drivers worked in Freedos with a Microsoft client like app. When I say network booted dos I mean that I'm actually loading it off of a tftp server. Microsoft Client 3.0 doesn't seem that complex. I'm surprised the makers of Samba haven't looked into producing an open source more up to date freedos compatible alternative. It would be nice if freedos could run in higher resolution and a Microsoft client clone could handle long file names. Maybe if ReactOS stabilizes it will be possible to network boot it and run it on a ram drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
