>> Why are PAINT2, LHA, UNRAR, ELTORITO, XMGR and RDISK on
Thanks for explaining ELTORITO, but as it is easier to find
using the name ELTORITO and as you may not have SYSLINUX on
all media, I think you can still add ELTORITO to all, too.
How about the other 5? I guess UNRAR or LHA = license issue?
And same for the 3+1 games, I guess. TAIL? UPTIME? BLWCBC?

Instead of being unfair by voting several times, I prefer
being unfair by negotiating afterwards ;-) You need DOSFSCK
to "CHKDSK" FAT32 media. And UDVD2 needs UHDD for 4x speed.
DOS32A is rather useful as drop-in replacement when DOS4GW
has issues. Similar: TPPATCH is useful for "Error 200" in
existing apps. PCISLEEP and FDSHIELD are just nice & small
and I am vain about those two :-D
> With only very few exceptions, Lite is only MS-DOS functionality.
Which is not really useful because USB sticks are far larger
than 3 MS DOS floppies and nostalgia does not mean to have
as little comfort as possible ;-)

Imagine you ever stop maintaining it. Somebody will have to install
gigabytes of toolkits to make changes to future distro versions...
Cheers, Eric
