Test of "1.1test3" CD :
http://jafile.com/uploads/dos386/fd11t3.png
Issues:
[-3.] many messages running over the screen but too fast to read
[-2.] not prominently documented what's going to be installed (for
example "FreeDOS distro 1.1test3 2011-07-10 with kernel 2040
2011-06-26 and FreeCOM 0.81pl999 2002-12-31"
[-1.] it does install files (with some luck) but doesn't update the
bootsector, attempt to launch my new FreeDOS ends up
in "NTLDR missing"
[0.] (see shot) "no persistent changes possible" is strange
[1.] (see shot) should be "volume" not "drive" (M$-$lang $uck$), what's worse,
it just shows me 4 letters with NO information on them (location of the
volumes, fs (FAT16/FAT28/Former-EX-FAT-64), total size, free space,
existing files or OS, ...), even worse, ot offers me letters
already having
an OS or those having ZERO free space ...
[2.] (see shot) Marginally outdated
[3.] (see shot) Subminor text formatting problems
[4.] (see shot) many packages need multiple reconfirmations per piece ???
[5.] (see crappy shot) about to reboot ... into "NTLDR missing"
[6.] about the bootsectors, it should tell me what OS I'm about to
kill (as far as guessable) and backup the original BS. Also, it should
tell me about installing onto a non-ZERO'th HD (needs to adjust
BIOS boot settings) or non-ZERO'th partition (needs to adjust the
$80-boot flag in boot sector)
