Probably a good idea. Also, maybe Facebook and Twitter. The more testers the better. I figured I’d just mention it here. Then leave all the other “public” announcement stuff to you. :-) > > My first thought is Yes, because this is a good way to engage folks who want > to test FreeDOS.

I > think that would be too much. Those were my thoughts as well. Probably be good to mention that it is planned for a new one to be created monthly. Probably, the 1st of the month. Unless we feel it’s better to do it on a different schedule. The build will include all changes to date. May be very little. May be a lot. In the event there are no changes, then one won’t be released. But, I assume that will be rare. > > But I wanted to ask what you preferred. When T2209 is release, I think I will move T2208 into a sub-directory under test. Basically…. …/test/ - current test build …/test/T2208/ - old test build Then we can keep as many old ones around as we want. > > >> On Mon, Aug 1, 2022, 5:19 AM Jerome Shidel <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Jim and All, >> >> The 1st FreeDOS interim test build is up and available for download at: >> >> https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/ >> >> :-) >> >> Jerome > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
