"base/rdisk" and "util/udvd2"?? (probably both belong in "util\", but why listed at all in PKG_BASE.LST ??) > https://github.com/shidel/FDI/blob/master/SETTINGS/PKG_ALL.LST "; The remaining packages are only installed when ALL is chosen." util\cwsdpmi archiver\zip archiver\unzip I can't speak for Jim. For a minor point release like 1.2, he doesn't want any major changes. But seriously, it's VERY hard to live without these. "; Some packages I would like to see in ALL." (so you want more premade package .ZIPs from us?? or just reclassification of where to put them??) "util\grep" and "util\xgrep" (what's the difference?? 32-bit DJGPP version??) util\less (386+ DJGPP unless you want ancient 16-bit GNUish version) I assume it is practically recommend to use "util\pg" instead of "util\less". util\tee util\touch util\which Not sure how majorly useful these are for most people (e.g. I hardly ever use them), but they wouldn't be hard to package up. Besides, FreeCOM has a (limited, not as good) built-in "WHICH". archiver\tar archiver\gzip archiver\bz2 I'm not understanding your ideas here. Are you not using Mateusz's packages from "1.1/repos"? He already has these packaged. Of course, tar and gzip must be ancient 16-bit versions, if you want to be ultra compatible. bzip2 never had 16-bit builds, AFAIK. Anyways, p7zip already supports all of those archive/compresion formats, and he has a package for that as well. devel\bwbasic devel\bcc These aren't extremely useful (plus fairly buggy) to most people. > Also, Option 1 in the FDCONFIG.SYS file that FDI creates has issues > with VirtualBOX.

PLoP Boot Manager (via floppy [or other methods]) lets me boot a USB on my "old" P4.
