Hi Jim,
while I agree that more and more software is creeping into
the distro if we add all interesting things, this list
is still somewhat comparable to full 1.0. Yet already 1.0
had exactly the creep problem that you describe. So first
we should indeed get a more basic 1.1 ready before we can
Hi again Rugxulo,
So VMware needs PCNET? VirtualBox needs AMDPD? QEMU needs NE2000?
Anybody know BOCHS? (Yes, I'm assuming more re: emulation than real
hardware here, isn't that reasonable?)
Bochs emulates a bad(?) NE2000 and a nonstandard PCI Pseudo NIC
for which an Etherboot driver exists
Most attractive to average users (rough guess):
Mpxplay
Bret's USB
CuteMouse
mTCP + common packet drivers
Arachne
WGET
Mined
GNU Emacs
Perl
Python
OpenGem
OpenWatcom + NASM
FreeDoom + Eternity Engine
HXRT + HXGUI
p7zip
DJGPP (GCC + GPP + Watt-32)
UIDE + XMGR + RDISK + SHCDX33E

While I'm glad to see enthusiasm for what the next FreeDOS distro
should include, and you've got a lot of interesting stuff above, I'll
point out that this is a classic example of scope creep.

And besides, most of these already were in FD 1.0, so nyah. ;-)

Good - I await the next revision. I'm trying to do my part here by

great, thanks.
On all of my machines (DOS, Windows and Unix) I try to keep the optional
packages separate from the core OS functions. So DOS will live in /DOS

Does this mean that they will be put on the CD later, or that the user

every packet driver known to man probably fits
Hi Mike,
- Are all of the binaries always put into the one bin dir? I expected
Yes, like with Linux. Also remember that DOS often has
small environment variable space, so we keep PATH short
and have no opt or usr local ;-) However, FreeDOS
1.0 did have a few packages using further

The new Install isn't in the first 1.1 test release. Look for it in the next
test distro, if Bernd decides it is okay for testing.

See above, minimising things. WATTCP programs are usually compiled as
DJGPP programs, having kind of huge disk footprint compared to your

The Watt32 libs are pretty big. The regular WatTCP is a lot smaller and

I just took my first pass at installing 1.1 using the ISO image that
Bernd Blaauw provided a few days ago. I got it done, but it was not
without a few problems. I'll assume those are user errors until I can
prove otherwise.
