Did a little more restructuring. So now, the setup files make a little more
sense now for future updates to the installer.
So far this is what happens:
1) boots from floppy or floppy image (like bottle CD)
(Note: if user manually lauches installer, skip 2 and goto 3)
2)

OOPS,
At present the installer, SETUP.BAT should support installing from:
Boot from floppy/CD, with CD installer.
Install from any directory as long as V8Power Tools are present.
(I’ll probably modify it, to adapt and use V8PT that will ship with the
installer automatically.)
Hi guys,
You really stirred me up with this exFAT discussion and Eric gave me a
great idea with requesting LTOOLS. I connected the two, I delved into it
and spent most of the last five days with implementing an exFAT file
system processor. It is _very_ exciting!
I have _not_ looked into any

That shouldn’t be a problem with the new installer. It really d

Should work with new one. As long as dos doesn’t think the flash
For option 2, all you would need to do is execute a FreeDOS version function

Int 21/30 can be altered by SETVER, but INT 21/3306 should return BL as the

And also having a stable modern platform behind to run on any possible
new hardware (x86)

I don't wish to discourage you (much), but as mentioned, exFAT is
probably the worst idea in the world.
I mean, come on, VFAT is *still* patented for two more years (even
though MS doesn't active rely on it [since XP prefers NTFS] or boot
from it [since Vista] anymore). We don't even have *th

Alain, while many people dislike the approach you proposed, i can help
