Users will always need sources, esp. if they share, but they don't
necessarily need to unpack them. (Well, anyways, they probably don't
have all compilers anyways.)
The entire idea of opensource was to be able to modify sources to suit a

This seems to be specific to the old installer (v3.7.8 by Jeremy) I

There is a site that is putting out a bootable CD that allows you to

Ability to detect heavy CPU load can be important information for me,

I have been using JEMMEX NOEMS, but now I see it is not really necessary.
What would you recommend instead?
If not needing UMBs that much to optimise conventional memory, an XMS

The ability to dynamically load and unload JEMM386 is a nice benefit
