Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI 1.2 Questions?

I agree with antony.Two installers,which can be downloaded,or something,to setup FDOS 1.2.Some users need an advanced setup.Some users willjust use the easy installer.So,perhaps two different installers would be a great idea.I mean,I prefer advanced installations,so I have more power/control over

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI 1.2 Questions?

There could be a secret (e.g. not listed anywhere on the installer screens) key or key combination (F8 or shift-F8 perhaps?) which plops the user into /Advanced Mode/ (put on sunglasses and rev engine here) which would allow all the extra choices, but wouldn't clutter the interface for average

Re: [Freedos-devel] fdpkg is being maintained?

I am pretty sure.Last I checked,it constantly has updates to it.I would also figure so because it is a core compoenent of the FreeDOS installer. On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 11:29 AM, sparky4 wrote: > Is fdpkg being maintained? > > > > -- > View this message in context: >

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI 1.2 Questions?

As far as I'm concerned, I agree with Jim on that one. Creating a super-power installer is pointless - it will take months to release (if it happens at all), while what I personally need is just an intro screen that warns me about all my disk going to be flushed, some 'OK' button so I give it
