Disgusted by FreeDOS 1.3RC installation CD (Users)

posted by RayeR Homepage, CZ, 29.04.2021, 16:17

Heh, I never tried FD installer for any serious work, maybe once I just tried to run it in VM to see how it looks. I'm not the target user, I just installed the bare system by sys and then manually installed utilities and drivers I really need. then I deploy once made tuned installation to other PCs. Also for partitioning I use some 3rd party tools than fdisk usually.
why there are missing tools? Maybe due to licensing policy? I didn't checked but maybe only opensource / GPL is allowed on install CD so you don't get freeware like HWinfo, NSSI, VC... So the installed doesn't bother me, I'm just interested in FDkernel and freecom that gets some rare update per year so I can download recent relese separately.
