Hi all,
last time I installed FreeDOS from floppy disk set I was in need for an editor
to edit some system filed but did not find one on the boot disk. Is that an
oversight of mine or is this by intention? I found that very inconvenient.
Perhaps there is a way to include at least minimal editing capabilities for
updating system config files etc.
Greetings,
Bernd
Haven't tried the boot floppy myself in quite a while, but the main
issue could simply be space on the floppy disk. Not sure how big
everyone's (welll, at least Gregory's) favorite editor EDLIN is (and
totally tired a a couple of minutes before midnight, I am not feeling
like looking it up), but a DOS version of joe (kind of Wordstar editor
clone) is something around 35-36KB, which would give you basic full
screen editing if you wanted to copy one on the disk yourself (and if
there is space enough on it)...
