Hi all, I worked on this a few hours last weekend and I released FDNPKG v0.99.2 right now.
http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/ Changelog: - [new] added the FDINST tool: a very light package installer for 8086+, - [mnt] adapted parts of the FDNPKG code for compatibility with FDINST, - [mnt] FDNPKG is compiled with DJGPP v2.05 (removed all hacks from 2.04). The biggest improvement is that there is now a 16-bit companion tool that comes with FDNPKG. This new tool is called FDINST. It's a *very* stripped-down version of FDNPKG: - no networking - no repositories support - no internationalization - no LZMA support - real mode, 8086 compatible FDINST borrows most of its code from FDNPKG, to make sure that both tools behave exactly the same way, hence it doesn't matter whether you install something via FDNPKG or FDINST, the result will be bit-to-bit identical. Should be useful for people wishing to install packages on their 8086 machines, given they find a way to teleport the binary package on the said machine before (via floppy, wget, serial link, or other). This could also be used by some future FreeDOS installer to install an entire system from floppy or CD.
