Hi Jerome, if Mateusz' repository has "500 MB of packages", then that would make a good choice for ALL as far as I am concerned:
It easily fits on a CD and you get plenty of DOS stuff :-) Also, it should fit on most USB sticks as well. Maybe you could make a list of the LARGEST packages in the repository and I can tell you which seem okay to omit, if you want to have the distro small enough to fit even on 512 MB sticks. That could be a very interesting discussion for my taste :-) >>> util\4dos >> >> Is the license of 4DOS fine at the moment? > > ... There was talk about pulling it. And talk about how bad it would be to > not have it. Wikipedia says modified MIT license, that is good enough IMHO. >>> devel\nasm >> >> Which version? > > Latest for DOS, I think it is 2.11.08. I was wondering if we should also provide a 16 bit version. But remember: It is almost impossible to boot 16 bit hardware from CD or from USB stick, so users with such hardware will probably first install a BASE floppy distro and then use FDNPKG to add packages manually by individual choice anyway. So it might be better to include ONLY the 32 bit version of NASM 2.11.08 :-) >>> devel\fpc > > Only 2.6.4. 3.0.0 requires LFN or an extensive port. As mentioned, including LFN seems to be a good idea for me. >>> devel\ow >> >> OpenWatcom C AND Assembler? > > I don't use them. But, I have no issue with including them. What I mean was that it would be GOOD to include both, as well as other toolchain parts such as MAKE or LINK from OpenWatcom.
