Good day Jerome,

Well, having four times slower install than
possible, when installing on real hardware,
does sound like something which *is* worth
fixing ASAP and in rc4, unless you plan to
release rc5 only a week later ;-)

Several of my other suggestions are about
EASY to fix and old bugs in your config and
autoexec templates, which will help making
rc4 lower in bug count at low effort for you,
preventing future "I have tried the distro,
but it is full of problems" reviews. Given
that "RC" implies "better than beta" :-)

Can you provide a sort of changelog to announce
which past changes rc4 already has compared to
rc3, as well as some prediction for rc5 timing?

Luckily http://mercurycoding.com/downloads.html
has been as-is for three months, pre-packaged,
so UHDD, UDVD2, RDISK, XMGR etc. have been
fully available for the distro repositories,
also DEBUG, JWASM, HIMEMX and 64-bit HIMEMSX.

I agree that using http://kernel.fdos.org/ to
first create a new package for a fresh kernel
would be TOO LATE now. That can wait for rc6,
while of course rc5 would be much nicer. Maybe
Jeremy can make a FreeDOS style package for you?

Regards, Eric
