Soon available at www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0-Testing will be the files: fdfullws.iso - FreeDOS with all disksets and corrosponding sources fdfullcd.iso - FreeDOS with all disksets without sources fdbasews.iso - FreeDOS BASE diskset with corrosponding sources fdbasecd.iso - FreeDOS BASE diskset without sources
Some new features in the ISO are: - Powerbatch is used in some cases to make the overall experience feel better (it will be used more for the actual 1.0 release) - XDMA/XCDROM provide an open-source and reliable combination to use a CD-ROM driver without requiring an internet connection - FDPKG is more fully integrated into the package management scene, however for this release, packages won't be able to be removed (this will be fixed in 1.0). Also there is at least one bug in the dependency checking scheme. - Both the stable and unstable kernels are included; the unstable kernel being compiled with Windows 3.1 Enhanced Mode compatibility - FreeCOM 0.84pre2 is included with LFN's turned off by default - All the latest released software is included to the best of my knowledge. - XFdisk is included as an alternate partitioning solution (for now, it might not start from the powerbatch menu; you might have to start in livecd mode) - Several games are included in this distribution Notes: There are minor known problems that need to be fixed before 1.0 If FDPKG has stabilized sufficiently for 1.0, I will have the text installer call it to install packages, so that it can set up everything at once. At the moment, the installer forces installation to C:\FDOS. This may or may not change for 1.0, because, after all, installing to a further partition requires a bit of user intervention to get it working (such as partition-swapping at boot time). -- Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
