Well, I've been using the same editor since I started updating, so it's not the editor's fault. All of the local changes that I have personally made to FreeCOM will be committed to CVS when 1.0 is released (there's too many changes to commit at once I think). On 8/9/06, Arkady V.Belousov <[EMAIL

Hi, my hard disc is trashed every time I want to install FD 1.0 pre-release on a FAT32 drive! (1,6GHz, one drive with one or more partition with "only" FAT32). The problem seems to be after the Install program (when the hard disc should be sysed, after the "pre-installation process" display).
