Hi!  I am happy to announce to availability of an updated FreeDOS
Install CD, containing all of the disksets and also some enhancements.
 After testing, please e-mail me with suggestions for additional
software to be included/excluded and other things. Jim Hall is in the
process of downloading and uploading the ISOs to ibiblio, and I will
notifyt the mailing lists when this is finished.

I'll have a look for sure, your work sounds very interesting.
Internet connectivity is very interesting, as it allows for installing freedos very easily. All you then need is a bootdisk, an image mount program (shsucdhd/shsucdrd from Jason Hood) and the FreeDOS distribution flavour you desire, as an ISO file :)

another very interesting option is to download the free cdrom driver from Acer/Benq and get it installed on user's system. Without permission from that company (which I tried getting) I'm not delivering it with the freedos distro that I work on.

After installing FreeDOS from the CD-ROM, you can do several useful
things not available from
the original FreeDOS CD-ROM.  You can update the kernel to the latest
unstable kernel via wget
by typing 'krnlupdt' at the command prompt if wget is installed.  If

I'll have a look at how you configured packet drivers etc, very curious :)
nice idea to allow ppl to update to daily kernel.

My compliments for your distribution, I'll have a look at it :)
