Hi Bernd, it seems even on modern hardware unpacking FreeCOM during install may take VERY long, so we need a fix:
- it is good to have source and binary in one zip - but you can use info-zip's command line options (-x source/*) to exclude sources from unzip :-) - a default install does not need sources, as the user can always fetch those from the zip later - users should be warned that install without XMS drivers will be horribly slow due to lack of RAM - actually I would not even OFFER a boot menu item to skip loading the XMS driver at all: You cannot even boot the install CD / USB on old pre-XMS PC. Excluding sources from unzipping instead of unzipping and then deleting them also saves CPU time and disk activity time and temporarily disk storage space :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
