Tom, Get up on the wrong side of the bed today? Why so defensive?
PC/MS DOS 5.x and 6.x will run in 256K with usable memory to spare. PC/MS DOS 3.x will run in 128K with usable memory to spare. If FreeDOS is designed/optimized for a bigger footprint then that's fair, but there is nothing wrong with asking or trying to push the limits. So make it 256K. Fine. The point (which you missed by a country mile) is that it should run on a fairly small machine. Because they are out there ... And no, 35 years ago would put us in 1978. 128K/256K PC style machines were common even in 1985/1986. FreeDOS does not add that much extra function where a 256K (or even a smaller machine) could not be a reasonable target. I don't question your use case .. please stop acting like mine is idiocy/blasphemy. Get a hold of yourself, this is a what-if discussion ... I'd also reserve the use of "wtf" for situations that deserve it. Like, when a tree falls on your car. I can't understand why mailing lists have to devolve into this kind of crap.
