General Discussion / Re: Dumping the Wiki
« on: May 23, 2016, 10:40:37 am »
Hi.

Maybe 300MB based on the back on 2014 by the Archive.org.  Give it a try, if it takes too much time or breaks everything we will know.

Regards

What can you do with it when it's downloaded? Do you need to load it up to some wiki program?

Hi

I have a backup of the OS2World wiki, but it is a full backup of the database and files I can not openly share.


If it's a database ie mysql, can't you export it to a file?

Applications / OpenSSH errror
« on: May 19, 2016, 05:52:00 pm »
When running ssh I get the following error.

load_public_identity_files: gethostname: Bad address

Anyone know why? I can ping the remote host.

This is with openssh 4.7 and 5.3.

Setup & Installation / Re: Minimal config.sys

Why do you need basedev=ibmint13.i13? Unless you have a disk controller that isn't supported by any OS/2 driver, it's useless.
[

It's just one of the basedevs which has always been included - never really looked into why it was there...

Also, you may need EARLYMEMINIT=TRUE.

I see you are not including any CD-ROM or USB support, but I assume that's intentional on your part.

I want a minimal config.sys. I hardly ever use CD-ROM. Maybe I should add USB  support.

EARLYMEMINIT is something I need to look up...

Don't re-invent the wheel - this will create a bootable CD or separate maintenance partition for recovery !

http://hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/

Or I believe Martin has a run down on CONFIG.SYS entries !

Now if bootAble could produce a bootable usb stick like this

http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/usbboot/?action=download

it would be really, really useful.

I'm trying to come up with a minimal config.sys for use in a recovery situation

This is what I've come up with so far - is there anything I can leave out?

memman=swap,delayswap
protshell=\os2\cmd.exe
diskcache=D2,LW
protectonly=yes
ifs=\os2\jfs.ifs
ifs=\os2\hpfs.ifs /c:64

libpath=.;\;\os2\dll;\os2\install;
set path=\;\os2;\os2\system;\os2\install

Anyone know where I can find OS4LDR?

116
Where are the .img files?

If I got hold of one I could take a look and see what could be done with it.

Ivan,

If you are familiar with MEMDISK, there is a cmd file in the image I'm using -

make_usb.cmd

tar -cf os2dir.tar OS2 LANGUAGE APPS
copy config.usb Boot\config.sys
del /qyz result\memd*
packfile.exe boot.pfs
memcfg result\memboot.bin < mcfg_usb.rsp


This fails after creating a number of packfile with this error:-

memcfg result\memboot.bin  0<mcfg_usb.rsp
MemCfg * V.K. * 2002.04.22..2006.01.23 * record version 11
Runtime error 110 at 00010B44 TID=1.


Any idea what's wrong?

Setup & Installation / Re: Booting OS/2 from USB pen drive
« on: May 13, 2016, 11:57:51 am »
Can anyone explain why it isn't possible to boot (or install) OS/2 from a USB pen drive?

In answer to my own question.....

It IS possible to boot OS/2 from a USB pen drive. In fact I just tried using a 1GB SDHC card in a USB card adapter using this image:

http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/usbboot/?action=download

There are a few things to iron out yet, but it does boot up to an OS/2 prompt, so I guess I should be able to include all the files on an OS/2 CD and install from USB.

All I need to do is get MEMDISK configured properly.
