I agree that a better installer is needed (the one in 1.1 seemed to be slow and generated broken AUTOEXEC.BAT files for non-US(?) keyboard layouts). I think we should adapt FDNPKG so it can be compiled with Open Watcom and use mTCP so it can be 8086-compatible. After installation, it could immediately update packages if newer versions are available.
It would be also very cool if we could have some kind of autodetection of network cards and install a driver automatically (and generate WATTCP and mTCP configuration files?). Packet drivers are the easiest to install (we'd probably only need a table of PCI IDs - any volunteers? - and the driver filenames associated with them), but ODI and NDIS drivers might require some more work. And finally, it would be nice if my Slovene translations (not 100% complete yet though) could be included in the distribution. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
