Hi, > And why don't "we" expand FreeDOS to such a XXL distrobution? (smile)
because you already get a full cdrom if you throw a bunch of djgpp-ported GNU tools for DOS together :-). So you can say that you get a 2 cdrom distro: FreeDOS plus DJGPP-All-Ports. > > > "uDOS is a free operating system built on the FreeDOS with DJGPP. > > > uDOS provides an integrated suite of features inluding Perl, Python > > > Can be run live from CD image." ... sourceforge.net/projects/udos/ I seem to remember there were other DJGPP collections out there, some also als ISO...? The DJGPP world is big, as is for example the MinGW and CygWin world. All planets in GNU space, of course :-). Our own FreeDOS distro also has to stay at a manageable size for our limited resources. Already now, Fritz who has been working for months in the background to update all htmlhelp pages and LSMs had to skip some stuff: Only for the base category packages and some selected packages, help will be available, and for many LSMs, he has not been able to find the original package URL and had to say "URL of this package is that you download FreeDOS 1.0 or 1.1". Talking about manpower: If anybody wants to help finding the lost URLs, I would be glad to send you a list so you can help with the search a bit. Thanks a lot! Eric PS: A LSM is a Linux Software Map file. We use the same file format for the FreeDOS distro. Basically each LSM file is a short text which lists name, description, version, URL, author and license (etc) of one package / program :-). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
