It would be very useful if you could make a list of all the problems,
and post them here.  For example:

1 - When I type install, it says
Install is now working
Then the screen fills with error messages that all say
File not found

It is obviously highly important to debug any problems, and it will save
so much time if we can isolate them exactly.

:( Sometimes people make few mistakes. Give em a break.
Sometimes when you do things they work on your PC, but not everywhere else.
Volunteers usually lack the resources to test every possible
Variation and possibility. Hell Microsoft with its billions rarely
Gets it right.

Open source is a community. Users are expected to use/test and politely
Suggestion ideas and report bugs.

The other releases where working just fine. Something went with wrong with
this one. It will get fixed when the volunteers have the time to donate.

Please be nice. Thanks!

I had the same problems. I suggest you download the 
http://odin.fdos.org/

Use that and the floppy boot images to create your own base
and then download the rest that you want. Don't forget to
add your cdrom drivers to the list. :)

I have to do the same.

Subject: [Freedos-user] Release 2 is strange

All that software is strange. The CD-ROm installation did not do
the work and now I tried to install via the discs and all these
installations break with missing files here and missing files
there. Especially textinst.exe is missing ...

This is the worst software installation I have ever seen so far
and no positive sign at all.
