Welcome to the FreeDOS v1.1 update server
Last update: 7 Apr 2010
27 Sep 2012
The FDUPDATE tool is currently OBSOLETE, due to the release of its successor - FDNPKG. FDNPKG is an 'apt-get' lookalike for FreeDOS that supports multiple repositories. Please use FDNPKG to install online software on your FreeDOS installation. FDNPKG is available for download here.
This is the main (and only) page of the FreeDOS Update Server. You will find below the listing of all available FreeDOS packages in their (presumably) most up to date versions (there are some third-party tools, too). The easiest way of installing them is using the FreeDOS Updater. Of course, you can install them manually if you wish.
Are you the author/maintainer of one of the listed software? If so, please check if my repository contains the latest available version, and send me the latest version of your program. That will greatly help me maintaining the repository up to date.
I'm working on the FreeDOS update repository in my free time. If you would like to give me a hand, you could check out the work-in-progress queue to verify and/or repackage some files.
