- NOS_KIT.ZIP NOS TCP/IP INSTALLATION KIT 3/15/91
-
- This is a pre-release copy of the "install" program for KA9Q's (NOS) TCP/IP
- package for the IBM-PC. The installation performed by this program is
- intended for Ham Radio (hard-wire LAN support is not included). The program
- is also specific to the version made available as "901130" (but will most
- likely work fine with the most recent, newer releases). To use, follow these
- steps:
-
- - This kit is currently intended to be distributed on 720k or
- larger diskettes (support for multiple floppy distribution is
- coming next). Unzip the archive of files onto a blank floppy.
-
- - If you don't have a 720k or larger floppy drive, copy the
- files to disks you can use. I suggest putting the nos_exe.*
- files on one 360k disk, and all the others on a second disk.
- Then create a subdirectory on your hard disk (you *do* have a
- hard disk, right?), and copy all the files into it.
-
- - Change drives and directories so that when you do a "dir", you
- get a list of all the files on this distribution. For example,
- if your 720k floppy drive is drive A:, just type: "A:<ENTER>".
- If you have copied the distribution files into the directory
- called "\dist" on "drive C:", then first change to drive C by
- typing: "C:<ENTER>", and then change directories: "cd \dist".
-
- - Read the "readme" file, and then run "install".
-
- You will still have to "hand-edit" the "domain.txt" file to add other IP
- station's addresses, and also the "ftpusers" file to enable other users to
- be able to "log in" to your system. In the "autoexec.net" file, the first
- interface chosen in the install list, will automatically be made the port
- to be used for default routing. This likely will not be desirable in all
- cases. If you choose the DRSI or PC100 interface, the default settings of
- I/O address and interrupt may not be correct for your particular config.
- Read the ~/pub/doc/nos.doc file (huge thanks to Bill Simpson for his work on
- the NOS documentation!)
-
- Be careful, I still don't have a lot of error checking (sanity checking?) in
- the code. This installation kit was a quick 'hack' to help me get new users
- in my area off on the right foot. My telephone consultation time with these
- new guys has decreased dramatically. Initial mission accomplished! Now
- I've got more time to go off and work on the type of installation program I
- *really* want! If anyone feels a strong need to have the C source for the
- install program, I will make it available. I'd prefer that it didn't get
- too widely spread at this point, since it was a quick cut-and-paste of small
- chunks of other programs I have written (the source is fairly embarrassing),
- and I'm currently working on a 'clean' version that will be "script-driven"
- for easy modification and customization.
