Well, actually, I have installed all of the above. Altho win 3.1, 9x and win xp for other clients. If your hardware is not too new, COREL is most automated, but Mandrake and Suse do better on newer platforms.NO man, an installer such as the Windows one, as the OS/2 one, but more as the *NIX ones (Debian, RedHat, Slackware, BSD, etC)
But=- FD.EXE could be made by RAR.EXE, and self extract into any 16 bit dos directory, or maybe even a floppy. You seen the drdos 7.03 install?
It is, by far, the fastest of all of the above.
I ponder what it is that we need to install these days. Hardly anyone still has a CGA, and there are other things in the dos archives that I've never used, and never will, and if I do need, I can find online.
It would be a killer app to devise a way for dos to support Mozilla. A lot of sabotage software is out there creating problems by using some of the multi-tasking functionality of other operating systems. Dos is inherentantly easier to protect.
Since Mozilla will run on os2 and win 3.1, it dont seem outta the question to figure out the API calls Moz needs and answer them. Have any of the Freedos people been emailing with Mozilla people? Or if not, can anyone give me an addy who could be more informative? We might could get IBM to part with os2 source code by pointing out, that now that they make money on Linux servers, that it would be in their interest to see more users who dont use windoz to get online. We all know the PPP drivers work reliably, but they dont know that Microsoft wont come up with code that will drive windoz users away from Linux servers just as we see windoz servers make things difficult for non win terminals.
