Hi,
I've installed FreeDOS 1.3rc3 on an 5x86 machine with 3 1/2"
floppy
last weekend.
The initial installation (manual) was smooth (partitioning,
formatting
drive C:, installing DOS kernel und command.com).
Then I wanted to install some additional packages. I did not want
to
use the installer. The FreeDOS packages are in "zip" archive
format,
nice
and easy.
But while the provided FreeDOS boot floppy does contain "zip.exe",
neither "unzip.exe" nor "unzip16.exe" were available to uncompress
additional
packages.
I propose to add "unzip16.exe" to the boot floppy to allow easy
bootstrapping additional packages.
Using "unzip16.exe", it should be possible to install the
DPMI-Host
stub and the 32bit "unzip.exe" (if needed), while still allowing
16bit
machines to install additional packages.
Greetings
Carsten
