Not related to kernel, but to hardware and base software. You can see if the change has broken something in a special configurations. >> nssi > > Hmmm NSSI was a hardware tester, I believe?

I wonder how much that depends on kernels... Doesn't depend on kernel but this testing system would not be only useful for kernel development but also for device driver, TSR, BIOS extender and bootmanager development. Things like "escape" (original thread) also do not seam to be related to the kernel but such picky software is always a nice testing object. It's not much "testing kernel", but therefore "testing FreeDOS" (where memory managers are mostly loaded) and testing if everything known to work together is still working. >> Often I tested some nice TSR (like a clipboard or clock tsr >> etc.) or something and it worked well for many things but >> in the end there was something no longer working or unstable. > > Good point but how do you measure unstable? Using freedit (or whatever) a while its working well and then it crashes without getting to a point to be able to reproduce it always the same way. "randomly" > Which new features? Those provided by widespread desktop operating systems. Things like DOSZilla, tridos, ac97toSB and such would have been cool. >>> And there is a port of clamav >>> which makes downloading f-prot unnecessary.
