I just downloaded the FDI-USB.ZIP file (now 178 MB .ZIP'd, unpacks to 256 MB .img). > Extra (not BASE or ALL), uninstalled packages on USB image. (about 50 extra) 147 MB of "DEVEL"??? Uh ... maybe I could sympathize with OW.ZIP and NASM.ZIP (which total "only" 18 MB), but all of the rest is too obscure (relatively speaking) for most developers. There aren't enough active projects using the others to justify forcing it on all FreeDOS downloaders. (I take it back, DJGPP *is* useful, but there are so many "competing" versions that it's hard to know what to use sometimes.) Unfortunately, anything you give here is either too much or too minimal. Even limiting only to DJGPP mini-FAQ tools would be quite large (well, especially since later GCC versions are even bigger). What to do, stick to a classic like 3.46? Or my own home-rolled "EZ-GCC v2" (2.95.3)? Ugh, no easy answer. Without any obvious goal, I would just omit everything except OW and NASM. Is anyone here (or elsewhere?) actively fighting to keep others included here?? If not, then why include them? Maybe I'm overthinking things (again). > Moved CD driver from Installed FDCONFIG.SYS to AUTOEXEC.BAT But LBACACHE now loads before UDVD2 and FDAPM, so you still can't unload it. :-( > TODO: Sufficient free space is not verified prior to installation.
