Yep, nearly all others are from ibiblio as well. There are some, that I have updated and a few like CDRCACHE that are not on ibiblio. Also, several on ibiblio that were missing sources and a few others that LSM data problems that I corrected as well. > > If that's the case, then I will (weakly) "try" to fix them in the next > few days, and then re-upload them > so that FD 1.2 will have a slightly less burdensome status.

(Sigh.) :-( Agreed. When, I see the “can’t you fix” this package or that one. Or, the "but there is a newer version of this one on the website why aren’t you using it?” I shake my head and sigh. > I just hate to drop some things that are, in fact, useful and "mostly" > free just because of some errant file or two.

Just as a general statement regarding “Dropped” packages. It doesn’t mean they cannot be used or installed later. It also doesn’t mean they cannot be provided on ibiblio. It only means, (if not fixed) they will not ship with the official release of FreeDOS 1.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
