Hi Marcos! I'm really glad you are happy with FreeDOS. That's why I like to work on FreeDOS - because there are people who still enjoy using it.
Have you been able to keep your FreeDOS installation up-to-date yourself, by downloading newer versions of programs as we announce them on the web site? Or are you running a "stock" 1.0 distribution? See the other discussion thread about the FreeDOS updater program, which (once it's finished) will help to keep your system running the latest bugfixes. Thanks for writing! :-) -jh On 11/30/07, Marcos Favero Florence de Barros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > This is my first message to the list, and for now I just want to > say * THANK YOU * to the FreeDOS team.
