I was on the web site recently and saw that there is a FreeDOS 1.02 out (or
forthcoming). Are there plans to produce a slipstream update, some type of
installer that checks the existing FreeDOS installation and verifies kernel
2136 (or 37) and a few other sanities, then proceeds to drop in the updated
base files, or do I download a whole new ISO of the FreeDOS CD (base or full)
and install on top of my installation?
The update program could also be a series of patches to make, for example
kernel 2137 ---> 2140. When the updater runs, it can backup the files to a
FDOLD directory (or something), create an emergency boot disk, iinstall the
patches and reboot. If the patch process fails, you could boot from the
emergency boot disk, run a restore program that puts the files patched right
back on the system.
Any thoughts?
