I'd keep FDXMS286 if possible, it's the only XMS-driver for 286 machines.

UTIL:

you could delete UDMA, XCDROM, XDMA from the software list so people 
won't download them again except directly from Ibiblio if they happen to 
stumble upon it. Jack R Ellis opensourced those drivers back then, but 
all have been replaced by a much more bugfree and functional UIDE 
driver, acting as CD driver for
SATA/IDE drives, meanwhile also providing readcache for IDE/SATA 
harddisks and those CD drives.

I'd suggest adding Syslinux (4.04) to the BOOT section, due to its 
capabilities and the now opensourced ELTORITO driver.

Flashrom program could be added as well to UTIL, but it's a dangerous 
program to mess around with. BIOS chip with wrong contents --> no 
functioning computer.

Mirroring to Ibiblio has to improve still, might want to doublecheck 
that. Kernel, SHSUCDX and Edlin (what's a binary?) are easy examples of 
being outdated.

Anyone got experience with the watcom port of FreeCOM yet? Or too 
experimental / work-in-progress?
