Hi Ulrich, Thank you for your report. This sounds unfortunate :)
It seems you have three different problems. About fdisk: could you tell more about the problem? What version of fdisk works correctly for you? About missing versions: could you please locate the *.lsm file of one of the "unknown version" packages and send it to me? (it is in %FREEDOS%\APPINFO) Are you testing using the latest available version of FDNPKG? As a temporary workaround: does removing/reinstalling a package make its version to be displayed fine by fdnpkg? About fdnpkg freezing: how could I reproduce this problem exactly? Should it be enough to just install freedos 1.1 on virtualbox, without any special configuration, and boot the latest version of all_cd.iso on top of it? What network card model are you simulating? (and what packet driver handles it?) cheers, Mateusz On August 11, 2014 1:21:29 AM GMT+02:00, Ulrich <my.gr...@mailbox.org> wrote: >I am a bit stuck with FDNPKG. > >If I use: > >fdnpkg listlocal > >on a fresh install of FreeDOS 1.1, I get a list of all installed >packages with > >"(unknown version)" > >behind their names. > >If I do: > >fdnpkg update > >I get the message: "79 package(s) checked, 0 package(s) updated, 0 >package(s) failed". > >Does this mean FDNPKG can't be used to update the 1.1 packages? > >I also took a look at >http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/all_cd.iso > >The iso boots fine.
