Most FreeDOS kernels released so far were UPX'ed and not un-UPX'able. The kernel "almost-2040" included on 1.1test3 CD distro is NOT UPX'ed.
Problem: with UPX'ed kernel, you can't check the version without booting the kernel. Suggestion: at the beginning or end of the file, add a string allowing to identify the kernel with compile date and other crucial info: "K2040D2011-07-31C32F16B" "K2041D2011-08-31C16F28W" C is CPU (16 aka 8086 or 32 AKA 80386) F is FAT (16 or 28) W and B are compilers (or is Boreland now dead ?). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input?
