- *** FreeDOS beta9 prerelease 4 ***
-
- This distribution contains the most up2date versions of FreeDOS(-related) programs.
- It is intended as a basis for the forthcoming FreeDOS Beta9 distribution, called Methusalem,
- which the FreeDOS distribution coordinator, Jeremy Davis, will release when it's done.
-
- So far, only BASE set is covered. In compliance with GPL terms, sources are also provided.
- I have tried to fit everything on disks from 360KB up to 1.44MB
- Unfortunately, some sources are too big (kernel, freecom, chkdsk?)
-
- missing stuff:
- *other disksets than BASE & SRC_BASE ( http://www.freedos.org/freedos/software/ )
- *Base: correct version of RIPCORDX
- *SRC_base: updated version numbers in sourcefile
- *SRC_base: ATAPICDD sources. Public domain, so no sources *required* to give (go find them!)
- *version history (programs.txt) partly updated. Please see the provided *.LSM text files
- *stable cdromdriver. Please download VIDE-CDD.SYS and put it on your bootdisk (a:\driver\vide-cdd.sys)
- For bootable cdroms I've provided the Eltorito.sys driver, courtesy of Bart Lagerweij
- (www.nu2.nu). AtapiCDD unfortunately is too slow and causes crashes.
