I did not know how the packages in 1.2 are going to be handled when it comes to source versus binary only. What I mean is are the source packages going to be separate from the binaries, or like in previous versions its just a single blob you and pull what you want out of it. Also, It is currently based on using the layout of the FreeDOS 1.0-1.1 CD. However, This should probably be changed and updated for version 1.2. More or less, you just add a package to the lists and it gets installed. > > On 10/20/2015 3:32 PM, Jerome E.
