freed by simplifying the filesystem? I understand the many limitations of

UMSDOS is h u g e. While it *would* make ELKS easier to use, it would most
likely use so much space you couldn't use it for everything. Remember you need
the UMSDOS, MSDOS and FAT modules to make it work. If you *can* fit it in,
it'd be wonderful; but I'd be surprised.

How romantic :-)
We create a meta driver called something like the user device driver which
has a whole load of generically named devices in /dev/udd0 -- /dev/uddn.
It is a nice idea

I'm fairly excited about the plans to incorporate loadable device drivers
in ELKS. Unfortunately, after I thought about it, they STILL won't help
