1 final test candidate then? With all discussions and patches on the 
mailinglists, it's hardly been worthwile to test "already out-of-date" 
ISO files.
Are you intending to release a pure ISO, or also a simple bootdisk that 
can load cdrom (386-586 haven't got Bootable CD-ROM support,
and Smart Boot Manager might not work on all systems).

Does it break compatibility with pre-386 platforms for now due to using 
PowerBatch?

Any language files that need to be updated? Added FreeCOM options for 
example?
