Hi all, I've tagged version 4.01 of the FreeDOS Install program. This is a completely new Install program, designed as a major improvement for the "FreeDOS 1.1" distribution.
The new Install asks the user only a few questions: if you want to install everything, and if you want to install source code. From there, the installer takes over and does everything for you. After you answer those two questions, you can walk away and let the installer do its thing. A very obvious progress bar will show you how far along you are in the install process. There are some known issues (see doc\BUGS.TXT) but this seems stable enough that it can be used as an installer for the FreeDOS 1.1-test distribution. I'd prefer to use Info-Zip's UzpMain() library, but it barfs when called from inside the Install program. Works okay if I call this same UzpMain() through an external "wrapper" program. I don't see what's wrong. If anyone can help me fix this bug, I'll buy you a beer. In the meantime, Install assumes an external UNZIP.EXE, and the makefiles will produce one if you do not have your own.
