A side note to ALL, regarding what packages are included.

There is really no reason you cannot make your own personal customized FDI 
based release.

Two ways to do it.

The easy way:
        
        For Floppy Image, just modify the package list files 
A:\FDSETUP\SETUP\*.LST. 
        It will then include or exclude them. 

        For USB image, same as above and also add and remove the packages.

The harder, but much better way, 

        Create a Virtual Machine in VMware Fusion or other compatible Virtual 
Machine.

        Create, two virtual flat hard disk images. First will be for the USB 
image. Second
         is a TEMP drive. Also, add a virtual CD and virtual floppy.

        Boot the latest FDI floppy image. Exit the installer.

        FDISK and Format both Hard Drives. (all re/boots should be done from 
FDI floppy)

        Download FDI source from github and v8power tools from up.lod.bz.

        Place FDI source files in D:\FDI

        Place V8Power Binaries in D:\FDI\V8POWER

        Create a TEMP directory on drive D: Set the Temp:

        Edit the package list files in D:\FDI\SETTINGS

        Change to D:\FDI

        Insert repository CD image.

        run mkfdi.bat

        (This will turn the floppy in drive A: into the latest  version)

        run mkfdi.bat usb

        (this with turn drive C into the USB image)

Maybe, I will do a youtube video to demonstrate the second method. 

With the second version, you slim down or really beef up the install.
Make nearly any size USB stick. Etc.
