The tool itself - yes. The package base is just that - a package base with software. Here are all the repos: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/ And the "all_cd.iso" file present at the above link is an ISO CD with everything already, it "only" needs an installer before we can call it FreeDOS 1.2. > I do know that the new version needs to support 16bit > legacy systems. The installer certainly do. FDNPKG being 16bit sure would be "cool", but I don't see it happening any time soon. I might do some ultra-light 16bit version at some point, that would support only installation from a zip file (ie. without any network support, no repository support etc). Such version could then be used by installers that do not want to reimplement package format support..
