I will run the complete test on it later today and let you know the results. But, so far, a quick test is looking good. A couple of packages that caused system lockup or crash during the install, remove and reinstall process, no longer freeze up the system. :-) :-) :-) Some, are still throwing errors in a extremely stripped down configuration. However, that configuration does not have any LFN support. So, it may just be [-2] errors. Later, I will check the log and also run it under DOSLFN. I will let you know the results. > > > > On 01/12/2015 19:04, Mateusz Viste wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Here is a new devel version of the FDNPKG package (including FDINST, as >> usual).
