Good evening Jim, I apologize for meddling, but I just received the thread being a subscriver and thought I could help that way. I think the user is not speaking of a Fdos installer, it seems he has rather installed the system itself upon a usb pen drive, as he stated above. What I understood is

Hi Ruxgulo, I just saw your answer, thanks for having replid so quickly :). I confess not using wine either, unless I'm forced to, which is to play a very few games, especially on BSD, where Steam is not available. Still, despite having set it, I launch these games very rarely as well, since,

Hi Louis, thank you very much for the info. I was not aware of those projects ongoing underneath, mainly because I didn't have the time to make a deeper research or ask. Seems very interesting; guess I'll enjoying seeing if and when that kernel will be available in the next releases Cheers!,
