My newest project is Lindin, the LINux Dos INstaller (typical Linux-style ridiculous acronym.) It is a shell script using dialog (or zenity, a GUI equivalent of dialog) to install FreeDOS 1.0 + FDUPDATE updates onto a FAT partition. The site is at http://lindin.tuxfamily.org/. I released version 1.0 last week, but haven't gotten around to sending an announcement to this list until now.
There are .deb packages, .rpm packages, and a .lzm module available. If you are using .deb or .rpm, grab lindin, freedos-base, and freedos-updates. Lindin can work without freedos-base and download the packages instead, but without freedos-updates, they'll be the old packages from 2006. The .lzm module is designed for Slax, and can really come in handy if you have a Slax CD and need to install FreeDOS for some reason. If you have Linux, try it out (in a VM, probably) and tell me what you think. It's still a work in progress. -maybeway36 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
