The initial menu showing which CD drives were found for example (which I also should add plain directories to, but that's more difficult). > - Are all of the binaries always put into the one "bin" dir?

Nothing is preventing an additional directory called EXTRA, putting subdirectory PACKAGES below it and a BASE directory below that, and then install from that location, allowing a 2nd directory. > > - I noticed the PCNet packet driver, which was a happy coincidence > because I was installing under VMWare.

WATTCP programs are usually compiled as DJGPP programs, having kind of huge disk footprint compared to your drivers for example. > - Do I have time to do a minimal mTCP configuration program that can be > used to walk users through setting up the configuration file?
