Hi Oleg,

> What do you propose? Do not install sources at all?

I propose to have screens where the user can toggle checkboxes
for each source package, but have none of them set to "yes" by
default. Actually it would be nice if TEXTINST had a button for
"set all to yes" and "set all to no" in the general user inter-
face, to set all packages of one screenfull of the list.

People should download a minimal bootdisk, not 10 MB ISO then...

The distro is never GPLed. Only the components are. Not all
components of FreeDOS are GPL, some have other open source
licenses. Some are even closed source (like ArrowASM) but
if you include too proprietary software, you may have to
tell your users that your distro is no longer suitable for
commercial use. When you include proprietary drivers which
may only be used for noncommercial things, I mean.
