For a full CD it's very much worthwile mentioning these. Adding packages is easy, integrating them and testing are a bit more difficult though. I'm abusing Jim's installer simply to allow people to do a 2nd install process from any random directory (X:\FREEDOS\CUSTOM\) to whichever directory you want to install those (be it same location as FreeDOS, or a separate \UTILS , \PROGRAMS , \PROGS , \BIGPROGS or whatever). > Discussion is great, but we need to actually step up and make a > deadline type system, timeline, plan, something!

I'm aiming for end of August. People have their vacation, have a little bit more time for spending on FreeDOS if they wish so, etc. Lots and lots of rewriting is needed while some programs also still require updates. DEVLOAD was just fixed for example, KEYB/KERNEL/FreeCOM could do with some updates, etc. All in due time, and meanwhile if people are able to somehow update their own systems from the work-in-progress ISO files, good for them :) What I should be working on rather soon though is adding sources simply to not violate the distribution rules of a lot of opensource licenses. Anyone know if there's a DOS SVN client? or a win32 console one running under HXRT? Assuming LFNs pretty much become a requirement as well in that case. Otherwise I'm doomed to a ReactOS or WindowsXP virtual machine. Ah well.
