Pretty asshole-style behaviour to insult each other on the list, mister!

However, I already discuss this with Arkady off-list, because I, too, like
this menu style much better:

> FreeDOS kernel version 1.1.35 (Build 2035) [May 30 2004 22:09:36]
> Kernel compatibility 7.10 - WATCOMC - FAT32 support
...
> C: HD1, Pri[ 1], CHS=    0-1-1, start=     0 MB, size=   392 MB
> D: HD2, Pri[ 1], CHS=    0-1-1, start=     0 MB, size=     7 MB
> E: HD3, Pri[ 1], CHS=    0-1-1, start=     0 MB, size=    32 MB
> F: HD4, Pri[ 1], CHS=    0-1-1, start=     0 MB, size=    32 MB
>  1 Standard
>  2 With CDROM drivers
> Select from Menu [012], or press...

So the full screen menu mode should be ONLY active when the user WANTS
to use it. This is exactly how 2035 behaves and 2036 should STILL behave
like that. By the way, how about displaying that the file systems of
C: ... F: are FAT16, 12, 16 and 32 respectively? Would look cooler ;-).
(This is a DOSEMU screenshot excerpt, and D: ... F: are diskimage drives...)

PS: REMINDER to Bernd - please replace that InstallShield / Windows skin
for the GUI installer by one of the other available installer skins... :-P.
