Hi :-)
The FreeDOS Interim Test Build T2603 for March is now available for download at: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/
Ibiblio seems to be a bit slow at the moment?
Changes since T2602:
Which (languages) of the translations of project_FD-NLS, diskcopy, assign, append, and possibly other packages are made by AI and could use some proof-reading now? Actual SOFTWARE updates in this build are:
2026-02-26 09:44:31 fdnpkg16 [unstable] (Shidel): updated to 0.99.8253c
2026-02-26 09:26:58 kernel [unstable] (Shidel): updated COUNTRY.SYS to 2.0
As Jeremy said: > In order to get some more reviews, please have a look at > https://www.fdos.org/country/ Feedback can be submitted at https://github.com/FDOS/country
2026-02-18 16:12:26 ldebug (Shidel): updated to release 10
2026-02-16 03:31:22 listpci (Shidel): metadata URL update
2026-02-16 03:14:17 fdnpkg16 [unstable] (Shidel): updated to 0.99.8253b
The country.sys update reminds me that: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/unstable/html/en/base/kernel/20260226.3/index.html Hooray! :-) Small updates for kernel 2044 "2026-02-26.3" (?) including country.sys, setver.sys (?) and sys.com, the SECOND monthly build with our new kernel, see Jeremy's 2026-01-25 mail: Updated boot/init paths, env handling, filesystem/partition handling, improved compiling, better FCB compatibility and (network) redirector code, I/O and file size 4GB boundary handling, WINDOWS 3.x ENHANCED MODE COMPATIBILITY, truename, device and memory management handling and much more :-) :-) See also: https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/releases/tag/ke2044 As this is the second release with the new kernel, I assume people have been happy with it? Do you know download counts? However, as described in my 2026-01-23 mail, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to 1. find and 2. test the interim builds on real hardware :-( Jim, can you work on 1.? Thank you :-) Jerome, how complex would it be to make the ISOs suitable for use as USB boot images? Or to build a LiveUSB from the LiveCD? Thank you :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
