Hi John, > I have a Power Mac 5400 with a PC Compatibility Card installed
... and neither booting from CD nor with Smart Boot Manager worked but finally the "put ISO on c:" style did work ... Maybe the CD drive or controller is not PC compatible? Also note that a boot CD also has flags which say on which CPU they boot (multi-CPU arch is possible, too). I guess your PC compat card does not support CD boot? > C:\FDBOOTCD.ISO ... and a normal installation began. > can someone tick off a list of updates to the various base packages > in the 1.0 distro? A nice starting point is a list by Rugxulo: www.geocities.com/snoopimeanie/ruffidea/fdpkgnew.txt He uses it for his updated FreeDOS diskette distro: rugxulo.googlepages.com/ This distro has 2 bootable diskettes with all FreeDOS BASE components and many other small tools, and a third disk with closed source add-ons such as emm286 (sic) and unp. The third disk also contains 4dos. A fourth disk could contain mpxplay and further docs for the other disks. Still on the TODO list is a collection of all the source packages for the open source components. Would be cool if somebody could contact Rugxulo and help with that :-).
