Nice video. :-)
KERNEL: By default, the C:\KERNEL.SYS is the booted kernel for FreeDOS 1.2. It
is 386 version and is the same as the C:\FDOS\BIN\KERNL386.SYS that gets
installed during the installation process.
FDIMPLES: When you launch FDIMPLES, it searches for any of the FreeDOS 1.2
install media, repository CD-ROMs and local package directories. If it cannot
find any of these package sources, it just continues without them. Any packages
that are installed and not included in one of those package sources are grouped
together in a “! Installed” category. This behavior allows the user to browse
their installed packages and remove items without bothering to mount their
package source media.
In the future, the plan is for FDIMPLES to also be able to pull packages from
multiple online repositories. Instead of being limited to a single repository,
this would allow for users to connect to other repositories that could even
include closed source software.
Hope that helps a little,
Jerome
