Hi, some suggestion to comment on the list :-)
From marinelluccia1 tiscali.it:
Hi at all,
please remember to include in distro 1.1 a shell for freedos.
i suggest freedos shell from Emanuele Cipolla

Hi!

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

Well, yes, I know all (most?) DOSes have both, but FC can do ASCII

While I'm glad to see enthusiasm for what the next FreeDOS distro

It looks okay, but it's fairly minimal. I'd heavily prefer Doszip, honestly.

To keep FreeDOS free we need to use free software tools wherever
possible. That's why we encourage NASM and OpenWatcom, and other free
