Andy - my last x86 machine died a couple weeks ago, leaving me with no way to run Virtualbox. So, the only way I can run Visopsys is with Qemu. I've been slowly migrating everything I have over to ARM boards - even graphics and video editing. But, I'm thinking I may try one of the Up Squared boards,...

@all: I wonder what happened to Bostontrainer. It's good info he gave tho ... I don't remember how well VisOpSys runs under VirtualBox, because I've been in "Qemu only" mode for quite a while. I wonder if VirtualBox supports the pcnet adapter? Never mind. I just found this thread: https://...

Looks good now! Here's the bottom of the router page ...



So, the null thing must have been the trick.

Sure Andy, I'll give it a go tonight.

The DHCP thing is no big deal. I'm just glad it's working. Can't wait for the first of the TCP stuff you've coded, so that I can experiment that ...

Yeah - I use QEMU, since I'm kind of a free software nut. I have pictures of RMS all over my house. Kidding!

The installer works just fine when there's no panic. Click, click and done. But, a person can get caught in a loop if a panic occurs and the disk is partially set up. I went round-and-round for a while myself. Otherwise, with no panic, this thread is entirely unnecessary, and most people could navig...

I should mention that my Odroid-XU4/Gentoo QEMU emulator setup is version 2.11.0. Anyway, the first time I tried the network with QEMU + Visopsys, I used the realtek 8139 driver, which Visopsys didn't recognize. I remembered, from looking at the source code, that you had a Lance driver in there. So ...

Andy: Now I remember why the "hd0a" partition is there. The first time I use the installer, it shows no disks or partitions. Then I click the partitioner. At that point there is only an "Empty Space" line visible in the partitioner, so I click on it and go thru the steps I've out...

Networking ... This is starting to be very interesing. Andy's recent work on the system is a quantum leap for networking. I'd not really been very successful with the network stack before version 0.82. But, things are really starting to look a lot better. I noticed that previous versions of Visopsy...
