Hi! >> Another thing will be a list of things to test...

Good point but how do you measure unstable? > Well, then the next distro must be an unstable/beta distro. No, there can be both :-)) A stable 1.1 base and a beta unstable fancy things one :-) Simply because there already is so much updated software from 1.0 that it would be quite easy to make a stable 1.1 :-) > Requirements with new features, pretty guy, easiness and clickmotley. Hmmm pretty GUI? I remember several attempts, they all were less popular than GEM simply because there is more software for GEM. Even though GEM has less eye-candy. But you can still have a look at the others, SEAL etc. Which new features? >> USB and SATA drivers... > > dosusb doesn't allow commercial use This might change this year for use in combination with FreeDOS. > this would mean commercial users wouldn't be allowed > to download the cd any further? or them are just not > allowed to start that driver? The latter IMHO. >> And there is a port of clamav >> which makes downloading f-prot unnecessary.

It is better than f-prot for DOS because support for DOS versions of commercial AV is pretty bad now in 2009...
