I agree completely.
Plus: How to install in Linux dosemu. I got 1.0 there, but it was a bit of a
challange.

Have some general suggestions for documentation at the
FreeDOS web site, mostly as a temporary measure until
FreeDOS version 1.1. is released.
I think, for new users like myself, it would be extremely
helpful if there was a note on the download page
(http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/) that newer
kernel and drivers are available that would make the system
more stable. Also, a link to where to find these
updates, maybe pointing to
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/fdupdate/
The other thing I'd find extremely helpful is a page on the
wiki with examples on how to set up fdconfig.sys and
autoexec.bat (or should that be fdauto.bat). The page
could go through some of the typical programs/drivers/memory
manager to add to that file and when and why to use each
alternative. Also, some info on freecom and shell
alternatives and nansi.sys or alternatives to
color/customize freecom or shells. Maybe someone can
help add some info on it here:
http://wiki.fdos.org/Installation/CustomStartup
and/or at some of the wiki pages like this one?
I noticed the link at http://www.freedos.org/freedos/links/ Free Software
for DOS needs an update. Had to do the same at my web
site a few months back as I also have a link to that page on
my web site. Might also be nice to add the WordPerfect
for DOS site to this list http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/ Even though
WordPerfect is still proprietary, there are some parts of it
that were freely released (with links to pieces at both
sites previously mentioned). Maybe a links page could
be added or moved to the wiki so everyone could share their
favorite DOS related sites and help keep links up-to-date?
I also added a few minor updates to the wiki on some of
this stuff that I thought might be useful to newer
users. Hope it's helpful.
Sincerely,
Laura
