'Can't install FreeDOS.

I tried to report this to Bugzilla but I'm not getting the confirmation
email(s) when I try to set up an account.

Anyway, my problem... when the installation routine asks me my IP
address I enter DHCP. The install responds:

Configuration complete.
Dependencies met or there aren't any dependencies.
Configuring...
D:\FDOS\Bin\CTMOUSE\ctm-EN.exe => D:\FDOS\Bin\mouse.exe
Configuration complete.
Dependencies met or there aren't dependencies.
Configuring...
Configuring through DHCP...

And then it starts beeping like crazy.

I assume the problem has something to do with obtaining the IP address
from my ISP. I don't know whether it matters, but I have a Buffalo
Airstation router.

Like I said I tried to report this to the FreeDOS bugzilla but I wasn't
able to set up my account. Any help reporting the bug or installing
FreeDOS would be greatly appreciated.

I feel for you; I tried installing Freedos 1.0 when it came out, and
recently [1.0 (updated)], on a MS VPC2004 virtual machine. Both times,
whilst asking for a full install I had to go through the prompt screens
(OK I it niggled me a bit but I can live with it), however on starting
the network after WATCFG prompt it just locked up with the cursor
flashing randomly across the screen.
Similarly I had trouble using the bugzilla sign up & report.

Last time I also mentioned that arachne didn't seem to use it's default
install location; probably a easy path fix that could be done by someone
in the know, but I bailed out. Haven't got that far this time.
