A floppy image will probably not be used a lot to write it on a real floppy
today. I use it as a base to make bootable CDs according to the ElTorito
standard. Or use it with Bochs to boot from that image.
The files on the floppy image will be enough of the FreeDOS distribution for

Hi there!
I've discussed this topic with Jim out of the list, and decided to bring
it onlist, as it has no real 'ultimate answer', and requires to know
'how people store their stuff on FreeDOS'.
Now, what is it about:
FreeDOS packages are/were used primarily to package the FreeDOS system.

Sorry I've been away and missed this. I'm in grad school, which

Our news item about WCD 5.2.2 at least explained the "WCD" name as

I agree. Hmm... I think to vaguely remember what /this/ WCD was, but it's
still not as clear as it could be. In general, maybe append a short

Another late comment:
- When anouncing a bugfix release of something that hasn't been fully
announced recently, write 1 or 2 sentences about what it actually is,
before discussing the improvements.
