Hi Eric This is a really interesting effort and I think it would be good to find a way to get Willi's efforts integrated somehow into the changelog for the monthly test releases. But as you've mentioned, there's a lot of overlap here. I think the right place to start is to talk about it. But we NE

Oh, one more thing. When booting FreeDOS to “Safe Mode”, we probably do not want to load all of the drivers. Things like APM and networking should probably be skipped with that selection. > On Feb 3, 2024, at 5:27 AM, jer...@shidel.net wrote: > > Wow, I should really wait until I’ve finishe

Wow, I should really wait until I’ve finished my first coffee before responding to email. Or… Maybe, proofread before clicking send. Lots of typographic errors. LOL. Jerome > On Feb 3, 2024, at 5:20 AM, Jerome Shidel via Freedos-devel > wrote: > > Hi Jim, > >> On Feb 2, 2024, at 8:07 P
