The install process needs to be simple. Do not make it more complicated than it needs to be. The vast majority of users just want to install the "default" FreeDOS, and get going. So we should give options to install just the Base, or install everything. With or without source code. To allow people to select specific packages to not install would unnecessarily add complexity. If you want a custom install, then install Base, then use FDNPKG or UNZIP afterwards to install the other packages that you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
