FYI: I've finished grading so now I'm starting on the calendar.
The calendar will be a series of screenshots of FreeDOS programs, and
possibly a little "info box" on each to talk about it. I'm open to
suggestions! Currently I'm thinking about these (not in order):
- FreeDOS command.com ("FreeCOM") version 0.60 [screenshot from FreeDOS Alpha 5]
- FreeDOS kernel 0.92 [screenshot from FreeDOS Beta 1]
- "Welcome to the FreeDOS install program (version 2.2)" [screenshot
from FreeDOS Beta 2]
- installing FreeDOS Kernel 2010 [screenshot from FreeDOS Beta 5]
- screenshot of FreeDOS Beta 9 boot CD menu
- screenshot of Block Drop
- screenshot of the standard 16-color (8 background colors) screen test
- screenshot of Edlin 2.23 [probably for May, because that was the
month Gregory released the first version of Edlin]
- screenshot of FreeDOS installer [from FreeDOS 1.0]
- screenshot of FDIMPLES [from FreeDOS 1.3]
- screenshot of "FreeDOS 1.3 - Install" [from FreeDOS 1.3]
- screenshot of FreeDOS 1.3 after it's booted to the command line
Of these, 5 are basically black with gray text (alpha 5 command.com,
beta 1 kernel, beta 2 install, edlin, and FreeDOS 1.3 after boot). And
4 are basically blue with text (beta 3 install, FreeDOS 1.0 install,
FDIMPLES, and FreeDOS 1.3 install). That might not be very visually
interesting - but probably interesting historically. Would you
recommend *not* using any of the above screenshots? Are there other
screenshots that you'd like to see instead?
