There you go. The 2 requirements for free dos being a thing are just
not there. not ease of use. I need to use an antique mail list for
communication and wiki/documentation. It's absurd and very not
efficient. I am very busy, and I can't afford the time to download
each of these packages one by one. That is not how the source code
should be distributed.
That statement is funny. on several levels.
FreeDOS is a combination of multiple programs by different authors. Not
a single program.
Each are their own project. But we mirror all the ones we provide with
FreeDOS on GitLab for convenience.
The SOURCES are included with the RELEASE. Download the OS and you have
the SOURCES.
No need to download hundreds of separate packages.
Why would anyone want to want to "check out" all of those sources?
You probably would spend several lifetimes just trying to understand all
that source code.
Ease of use is none. Documentations are very bad. The sites linked to
are web 0.1 material. Good documentation and know-hows are what drive
further development, so I can say free dos is dead, and I will not
invest more time on it.
No documentation is every good enough.
Recently, I spent several days trying to figure out how to make the
pin-head sized icons in the FireFox GUI larger on my 4k monitor under
Linux. You'd think I could not be the only person with that problem. But
it took me days to get the problem resolved. And I've been using Linux
for decades!
Calling me a troll and telling me not to talk to me? How old are you?
That is not very welcoming and very immature. Either way, I am gone.
You start off aggressive, condescending and belligerent. When help is
attempted, you spend little to no effort of your own to investigate the
advice.
Bye. I won't miss you.
