Hi again,

I assume you mean /config/boot/floppy and so on:
In DOS, configuration is stored in config sys, in
autoexec bat, and possibly in configuration files
for the drivers you load, but that depends on which
drivers you load and who made those drivers. You
usually cannot change it in any other way than by
using another driver for the same device instead.

If you know something you want to configure in DOS
but which you cannot configure yet (via kernel or
driver config options), let me know. Note that
there are almost no DOS drivers for wireless,
scanners and cams at all, and only drivers for
generic things (keyboard mouse storage) of USB.

This is your choice, you can put programs where
you want them :-).

> /GUI

Same. I hope you will find a nice GUI. OpenGEM is
classic, but there are others with more eye candy.
Those typically have fewer programs made for them.

> /mount

Drives get drive letters, not mount directories
in DOS. Sometimes SUBST / ASSIGN / ... can help
to map between directories and drive letters but
the drive letters always exist.

> /network

If you access a network drive, it also gets a
drive letter if you have a driver. If not, you
may have something like a FTP client to access
files. I think there is a DOS version of the
Samba SMBCLIENT which belongs to this category.

As above, this is your choice. But avoid long
file names unless you know that your DOS programs
can work with tham or you accept that some names
will show up as /perso~1/admini~1/whatever for
those DOS programs which cannot use long names.

> In config directory i suggest to be drivers for every device,

You can do that if you want to, sure :-). Because
drivers are no fixed part of the system, you can
install any driver you want in any place you want.

> in mount directory to be the mount point for the network

See above - normally you use drive letters instead.

This is not handled by the operating system. If you have a
DOS web browser, then it can for example support TCP/IP,
but that does not mean that your other network related
software would also support TCP/IP... For those programs
which use the popular Wattcp networking framework, they
all use one shared configuration file called wattcp.cfg :-).
I do not think that any DOS software exists which can read
data from eDirectory, ActiveDirectory, LDAP or similar.
