INSTALL.EXE NOS TCP/IP INSTALLATION KIT 3/1/91
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". To use, follow
these steps:
- if you don't have a 3.5" floppy, get someone to 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.
- if you do have a 3.5" disk, just stick the floppy in a drive.
- 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 3.5" 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".
- run "install"
- Once installation is complete, you should add the path to the
NOS binaries directory in your autoexec.bat file. For example,
if you install NOS in "C:\NOS", then add "C:\NOS\BIN" to your
PATH statement in your autoexec.bat.
- You should also add a variable to your autoexec.bat file for a
path to the "TMP" directory. If you installed NOS in "C:\",
then add the line: "set TMP=C:\TMP" to the autoexec.bat file
(if you don't already have one).
- To start KA9Q NOS running (if you've installed both KA9Q & G1EMM),
type "startnos" or "startnos ka9q" at the DOS prompt. To start
G1EMM NOS (if both are installed), type "startnos g1emm". If you
have only installed one or the other, but not both, then just
type "startnos".
Be careful, I still don't have a lot of error checking (sanity checking?) in
the code, so if you *want* to break the program, it's a cinch that you can
accomplish your goal.
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.
Once the installation is complete, and you have edited all the config files
that you want to, change to the drive you installed the software on, "cd" to
the "base" directory that NOS was installed into, and simply execute the
"startnos.bat" file. This will delete any lock files that may have existed
the last time NOS was run, copy the log file to a backup filename, and start
TCP/IP running.
