Yay, thanks! I've grabbed the new version and am installing it now. I
don't usually do a 'full install' - usually just 'plain DOS' plus a
few packages that I use all the time - so I haven't encountered the
.DATESTAMP issue before. But I'll reply here if I see anything amiss.

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS Interim Build T2401

[Jerome Shidel via Freedos-devel]

The FreeDOS Interim Test Build T2401 for January is now available for download 
at:

https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ 


Although this update consists of only a few simple changes, it is an important 
update from T2312.

There were several packages that erroneously included a ‘.DATESTAMP’ file. 
During installation of those packages it could cause a file conflict and 
failure to install some packages. The file was not related to package 
management or the ’.TIMESTAMP’ file used to preserve file date time stamps when 
working with version control systems. It was from a different utility and meant 
for local system usage only. I think I purged all of them. If I missed any, 
please let me know.

Unlike the large number of updates in T2312, there were no other significant or 
package updates in T2401.
