Personally, I would like BASE to be more or less a minimum viable OS install and ALL to be a most likely wanted install.
When I say minimum viable I mean: kernel, freecom, xcopy, deltree, move and a few other more or less absolutes. However, by my understanding of what Jim wants. BASE is supposed to be equivalent to to what was provided with MS-DOS. For us dev types, it is very easy to make a custom package set for FDI or to just roll your own installer. > On Jan 26, 2016, at 6:46 AM, Antony Gordon <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Exactly.
