Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS Interim Build T2310 - no free space on CD

How much are the GUIs? You've almost got this down to just one disc. Can we just stop shipping overly complicated file managers that include desk utilities? Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device Get Outlook for Android From: Jim Hall via

I think the developer tools should go to the bonus CD. As was mentioned, most FreeDOS users will probably use it to run legacy apps and games. People who still have the knowledge to do some honest-to-god proper DOS programming will probably be quite able to switch the CD and install the stuff from

I staunchly disagree. The single most foolish decision OS vendors have made over the past 40 years was to push away all of the included development tools. Pare down the programming tools, sure. But some minimal set needs to remain permanently. Maybe an assembler (nasm?) and Small C Compiler,

Hi Jim, hi Jerome, hi everyone else,   About the theme "the installation CD has no longer free space":   It would be interesting to find out which clientele downloads the FreeDOS CD the most. I could imagine that games are particularly interesting for newbies, whereas programming tools are
