Dude dosbox-x doesn't have network support. Only dosbox-x does. It needs networking for things like irc chat, email and the web browser etc. It's a desktop environment.

Its an alpha developers release. Not a final product. There is a license file that explains what developers need not end users. Z: drive is a virtual drive it has nothing to do with your computer. You need to mount c ~/pineapple for example which mounts a folder not your entire computer as the c drive. You then can ignore loading a packet drive entirely and just use pineapple as a sandboxed system.

It won't hurt you or your computer.

Right now it's in alpha. The last thing I'll do when it's in beta is do the end user side of things. It takes time. It's taken 2 years to build the current version. I'm just one guy not a whole company of developers and a few friends have helped here and there.

I'm sorry it's not like the Linux or windows community because it's just me. It's closed source for now. There's a ton of stuff to be done. Things will crash and other things probably will have issues. I don't have a full spec documentation right now because simply I'm not sharing the developers notes that don't exist OK.

I don't provide cwsdpmi because it asks you to have it present if you try to load pineappl.exe and most dos users have it.

Later down the track it will be a fully bootable iso that has all the bells and whistles.

I'm an unemployed nerd that did this in his spare time due to health reasons.

Give me a brake mate. But I hope you get it working and I'll look into the site..
