Thanks for the mention! I'm releasing a new minor release soon (to prepare for adding a desktop UI), and I'll be sure to include the source code for any FreeDOS parts.

Hi Corbin

I thought I'd raise awareness, so I just posted a note on the FreeDOS website on the FreeDOS twitter.

However, I noticed that the CarbonOS ISO doesn't contain any source code, and I didn't see a link on your download page that offered the source code. https://sourceforge.net/projects/carbon-os/

Note that under the GNU General Public License (GPL), under which the FreeDOS kernel and most FreeDOS utilities are provided, you must provide source code, or offer to provide the source code. The best way to do this is to include the source code on the installation CD itself. You certainly have plenty of room to do so (the ISO is only 2.4MB). Please include source code in your next Alpha release. It would be best to remove the ISOs that do not contain source code https://sourceforge.net/projects/carbon-os/files/ until you can include the source code as required under the GNU GPL.

Hello all,

A while back I announced my work on a FreeDOS distribution called Carbon. It's goal is to be easier for beginner DOS users, and as a general improvement over plain FreeDOS. Since then, I've released a new alpha (0.3.0) that adds several improvements over normal FreeDOS. 4DOS command line, long file name support, silent boot, etc. are just a few.

If you are interested in the project at all I would love if you gave it a try in VirtualBox (or another VM), the ISO is available on the project page here.

It also has a Twitter account you can follow for news. Any suggestions are welcome for the project.
