Hi,

I'm looking again into upgrading the freedos package for dosemu, and
use freedos 1.0 versions obviously.

There is a nice list in
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.0/pkgs
but I'm only going to provide a small subset of that obviously.

There are a few issues though:
First of all, I couldn't find a "kernelx.zip" package. There's a
kernels.zip and a unstablx.zip, but I may have missed it in the long
list.

Also, I would (perhaps naively) expect that all *x.zip packages can be
obtained from the *s.zip packages by compilation. I.e. if you have all
the compilers you can just download all the *s.zip packages, compile
them and don't need to download any x package, similar to .src.rpm's
and rpm's.

But it looks like the sources are missing documentation? Is that just
to save some disk space? It doesn't seem completely proper to me.

Maybe I should just download everything from
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/*/
instead? That may work out better but giving that the 1.0 label may be
confusing because some versions may be different. Is there a list
somewhere with all the versions that are used?
And is the command.com that is used in FD 1.0 somewhere under
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/
at all?
