> this is an old problem, and fixed, but no binary released. This sucks. Release an update. You have had the binary for months. And I do not care whether the binary has a mismatch with the sources / whether you only have PATCHES instead of updated SOURCES or not. Just release that thing. Jeremy can help you to release updated SOURCES after that. By the way, more troubles: - somebody installed FreeDOS on his Libretto subnotebook (800x480 screen, 64 MB...?), and yes, the "use alternative installation source" menu item (to install from ISO-as-file, as the system has no CD-ROM) worked, thanks. the menu item should be less hidden. - on this notebook, the kernel failed to open config sys, but only if the kernel was loaded through a boot menu. A kernel update fixed the problem. - SBM crashes on some 386s, maybe it actually needs a 486dx? Or more RAM? It would be REALLY useful if you could release a file "UNZIP this in your FREEDOS directory to update ALL binaries, then copy the updated kernel from this ZIP to whereever you want to enjoy even more updates". And no smart batch scripts please, just the files, but soon ;-). Talking about too smart batch scripts: Geraldo has started to create an updated version of ODIN 7.1, and I hope he removes that "fdconfig blocks config" mess. People can use F5, right? PS: News from the "UMBs too small with EMM386" odyssey (thanks to WordNet and dict(d) for the right spelling...) - this computer really has a 64k VGA BIOS and some stuff at e000:..., probably not optimized for use with DOS X-).
