Definitely a single "blob". This was the consensus we reached after the FreeDOS 1.0 release, a decade or so ago. But this is not something you should care about, that's the job of the package manager. Just tell it whether to install sources or not (ideally asking the user first), and it will do as you wish. >>>>> At present, I know very little about the FDNPKG.

Using raw unzip here is a very bad idea.
