How do I get this to install using dosbox? I have all the disc files on my computer and can mount both discs, after disc 1 installs it asks for disc 2. How do I mount disc 2 while it is still in the installation program?
Read the README - special keys - CTRL-F4

What I do, is put all the files on the disks in seperate folders and then use one "installation folder". I first copy disk 1 files in there, start installing, then when it asks for disk 2, I delete the disk 1 files in the installation folder, copy the ones of disk 2 there, and press CTRL F4. Then tell the installation disk 2 has been inserted, and repeat.
I find it's easier to mount an image in DAEMON Tools, mount the virtual drive in DOSBox, then switch the image mount when needed and Ctrl-F4.
Or this:
imgmount d c:\CD1.cue c:\CD2.cue -t iso
Then Ctrl-F4 when you need to swap.
Make sure "c:\CD.cue" is a path and filename to an image file.
They're disks though, not CDs. How you're going to mount 3.5" disks in Daemon Tools ... 😉
Besides for CD images it's much better to use imgmount and mount all CDs at once - then you can swap between them easily without having to constantly remounting things.

Using a program like MagicISO add the files to a new image. And he said they were "discs" with a C, not "disks" with a K.
If they fit on 3.5" disks what's wrong with copying them to a pair then swap when needed and Ctrl-F4?
Amending what I said for disk files:
mount a c:\disk1 c:\disk2 -t floppy
Then Ctrl-F4 when you need to swap.
Make sure "c:\disk" is a path to the folder where you have the files.
And he said they were "discs" with a C, not "disks" with a K.
Well...
And he said they were "discs" with a C, not "disks" with a K.
??? I'm no native english speaker, but AFAIK using "C" or "K" has nothing to do with the type of disc/disk. I believe this is a US/UK thingy.
Compact Disc vs Harddisk
1+1=10
5.25", 3.5", hard drive = disk = magnetic storage
CD, DVD = disc = optical storage
At least according to the packaging of each type.
Hey, it's duke2, maybe think before discussing disc/disk differences.
What are you talking about 😜 didn't Duke Nukem 2 come on 4 HD DVDs 😉
Right. It was a long time ago that copied these things onto a spare hard drive so I wouldn't have to rummage around for them. My copy is on a single CD. So I don't know what the topic creator is trying to mount more than one of. Whatever it is several of the methods above should work for it.

It's not that hard to figure out - he obviously means the second floppy disk. He must have a very old version of it.
copy both disks to the one folder and run setup from there oO.
