Hi, http://fdos.org/kernel/ makes people use 8086 FreeCOM if I understand the text right. This means they will likely have no XMS swap and no LOADHIGH. In short, they will think FreeCOM is really a BAD command.com
Please make the XMS SWAP 186+ FreeCOM the one which is linked at the "Stable Kernel" section. It is a very very big exception to have a pre-186 processor in a computer in year 2006. You should also put a download link for HIMEM on that page. My other wish is using a new version number. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call the head kernel of [some date in the NEAR future] 2036 and the unstable/devel kernel of [same date] 2037. We are stuck with version number 2035 for over a year now, which makes it impossible to link kernel bugs to a given version number. It is absolutely pointless in bugzilla to say "in SOME 2035 kernel which I downloaded at date X, we have bug Y". I cannot tell people to compare to some other version either, because then I would have to teach them how to use CVS. In that context, we can say: The newest WELL DEFINED kernel version is dated February 25 2005... http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109 (and the newest well defined FreeCOM version is dated Dec 14 2003) Please label any given current CVS snapshot "the real 2036 / 2037" and send me the bill for the pizza which you needed to get the energy to do so ;-)). Thanks!! Eric PS: The SF page can be reached from the "Project Info" link. You can also find the feature request tracker there. Another not directly linked goodie is the FAQ: The start page of the "Documentation Wiki" links the FAQ search function ;-). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
