I second that. But it would seem we are isolated in this opinion, since I see all the time people talking about multiple-choice packages, "advanced" modes, "FULL 400M+ install", etc... What I'd love, as a user, is to be able to put the FreeDOS install CD (or floppy) into my computer, select a single choice "Yes, I want to install FreeDOS even though it means all existing data will be wiped out", and get a FreeDOS shell seconds later. A shell that mimicks what MS-DOS 6.x provided. And only THEN, if I wish/need, I'd install additional stuff using FDNPKG and/or FDINST.
