This is a good suggestion. However, from here:
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/3sep2006/
The source code
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/3sep2006/fdfullws.7z
will take about 217 MB... So the source tarball will increase from ~ 600
MB to 817 MB...
Do you have any better idea to make this as the genuine source tarball,
but the size won't increase so much?
Thanks.

Regards,
Steven.
