Hi all,
I think that the new distro idea about a collection of batch files is really
good. It looks similar to portage/gentoo and freebsd/ports way of installing
packages and maybe a it can be a revival for the fdpm project.
I think it will be really good for:

Hi!
After installing FreeDOS from the CD-ROM, you can do several useful
things not available from
the original FreeDOS CD-ROM. You can update the kernel to the latest
unstable kernel via wget
by typing 'krnlupdt' at the command prompt if wget is installed.
Wow! Cool!

By the way, I am currently working on a program which will simplify
this, but it doesn't do anything useful at the moment.

PS: In the software list i found: LFNDOS
I don't think, that it is useable anymore. I would only have DOSLFN
included.
LFNDOS isn't included.
Not on your CD - but on freedos.org.

Jim Hall has just finished uploading the small ISO to ibiblio, so here
is the url:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/blair/FreeDos-Boot-CD-2005-07-18.iso
This is probably the preferred place to download the file right now.
The readme file is at:
http://www.ibibl
Some ideas I have for improvement are allowing the user to select from
a list of crynwr drivers, and a bootup logo after installation to hard
drive is completed (with blackout and banner). If anyone has a good
bootup logo, please send it to me (preferrably in 320x200, GIF87
format, two blank lines

Yes, but one would stil have to install the package that sets up

It is a license for unlimited use only . Explicitly forbids modification,
