*First: it is not good "netiquette" to start a new thread when you are following up from a previous post. You should have written this as a reply to your first email.

Why did you not click on the link that was suggested to you in the reply? In my reply last night, I told you exactly where to find the source code. I also said you can install the source code when you install FreeDOS. You didn't read the answer to your question, and now you are requiring "conditions" for FreeDOS. I think you are trolling, so this is my last reply to you. > 1, ease of use. Absolutely both for users and developers.

The "Developer" page that I pointed to in my last reply has a link called "FreeDOS sources" that points to the FreeDOS source code archive at GitLab <https://gitlab.com/freedos> which is where you'll find everything. The "Developer" page also has a link called "Kernel sources" that points to Jeremy's kernel (he's the current maintainer) at GitHub <https://github.com/FDOS/kernel>. But maybe you found my personal project on GitHub <https://github.com/freedosproject> that is called 'freedosproject.' I originally had a different GitHUb username, but I changed to 'freedosproject' so no one else would try to "claim" that username and confuse things. My personal project has this description: "Some of the sample programs I write for the FreeDOS channel on YouTube. For the FreeDOS source code archive instead, visit https://gitlab.com/freedos"; > 2, Better documentation. The site has a wiki section that is not part > of the site, and is very inadequate.

When you clicked on the "Read the wiki" link on the FreeDOS website, did you *read* the page that came up before you ended up on the wiki website? The page stays up for 15 seconds, and says this: "We are currently moving the wiki to a new website. Note that we haven't finished moving everything over, so some links are "red" because those pages don't exist yet. They'll be there soon." That page also has a big button you can click to go right to the wiki at <https://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/> Jim _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
