Package manager:

FDNPKG — FreeDOS Network Package Manager.

FDINST — Part of FDNPKG that does not support networking.

FDIMPLES — Text User Interface that uses FDINST to add and remove packages that
are on the install media.

BASE — Base packages.

FULL — Complete FreeDOS install. Pretty much everything that is on the SMALL 
USB Stick image (Roughly 30mb of packages). 
This does not include many EXTRA packages (about 450mb) that are provided on 
the CD or BIG USB stick versions. 
This can be a little confusing.
