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.


Mike
