Freedos installation via virtualbox

Post by Jamesapp »

Hello,

I am trying to install freedos via virtualbox but I get hung up on configuring dhcp I am using a Mac running snow leopard.

Any help or info on how to get freedos installed would be great.

Thanks

I don't know if this helps (I haven't installed freedos), but configuring dhcp can take a long time or can be hung up by itself. Dhcp is self configuring network. So are you sure this is VirtualBox problem? Have you looked into VBox logs if there is some error, attach it to forum.

Problems getting a DOS guest to work should be discussed in the "Other Guests" forum, after reading the "Howtos and Tutorials" area of course. The "Using VirtualBox" forum is for problems with the VBox software itself, e.g. understanding the user interface.
