Hi, if you ask me then you can just remove - if possible - the announcement newsitems from freedos.sf.net! The thing is that freedos.sf.net is the "start page" for people who want to download new kernel or shell versions without having to go through the links on freedos.org, so this "start page" s

3 news items might be stretching it a bit much - the news items on FreeDOS @ SF aren't updated very often. Maybe 2 news item would be better. Pulling the news feed does work, since the links point back to the right place. I have the feeds at: http://www.freedos.org/include/feeds/freedos_sf.ht
