Agreed. It was all mostly good feedback and notes about quirks in FD vs. other DOSes. On Fri, Dec 24, 2021 at 2:10 AM Jerome Shidel wrote: > Hi Louis, > > On Dec 24, 2021, at 4:36 AM, Louis Santillan wrote: > > > An interesting (and series of very very long) "hot takes" of FD 1.3RC4 > from t

I will be making a new kernel release as soon as I can. This weekend if my computer behaves. I also have a few other programs that may need new releases just for updated translations. I'm aware it's late in release, so these may just be post release updates. Jeremy _

Re: [Freedos-devel] RC4

>> 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 issu
