I would like to assume an optical drive.
as far as IPV4 goes, I think it's going to be around for homedwellers for quite
a while, as routers and ISPs supply IPV4 addresses.
I think having 2 types of floppy images would be nice, one with networking and
cdrom, and one without networking and with cdrom. one can always take things
out, but a person cannot very easily put things in! If you don't want to do 2,
then do one with both features. a person can always subtract from config.sys
and autoexec.bat, but configuring networking, at least for me, is a nightmare.
what packet driver? how do you install it? what interrupt do you hook? is
there any DOS packet driver other than http://crynwr.com/drivers/00index.html
which matches a card in the real world today (they are all SO OLD!)? if anyone
has a realtek 8139 driver, that would be nice. hey, I found it!
http://www.realtek.com/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=6&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#3
but it's covered under patents, so I don't think we can include it.
for the networking disk, cURL for DOS would be nice. it can grab pretty much
any protocol. It uses WatTCP.

Computer memory/disk size measurements:
[KB KiB] [MB MiB] [GB GiB] [TB TiB]
[10^3B=1,000B=1KB][2^10B=1,024B=1KiB]
[10^6B=1,000,000B=1MB][2^20B=1,048,576B=1MiB]
[10^9B=1,000,000,000B=1GB][2^30B=1,073,741,824B=1GiB]
[10^12B=1,000,000,000,000B=1TB][2^40B=1,099,511,627,776B=1TiB]
Note: disk size is measured in MB, GB, or TB, not in MiB, GiB, or TiB.
computer memory (RAM) is measured in MiB and GiB.
