Hi guys,

cool that FreeDOS 1.0 is there :-)

No need to log in, but there are actually 3 stories:

http://digg.com/software/FreeDos_Reaches_1_0
http://digg.com/software/OpenSource_MS_compatible_feature_rich_DOS_released
http://digg.com/software/FreeDOS_1_0_is_released

> Hey everybody!  Login to DIGG.COM and vote for the FreeDOS story...

I would not call that a "story". Very short text...

But I like the new "What is FreeDOS" text on the freedos.org
frontpage :-)

http://www.freedos.org/

Note that fdbasews and fdfullcd also have a livecd mode :-)
We should also mention the download sizes on the download
page, and there should be a really nice readme...!

base: 8 mb
base with sources and livecd: 49 mb
full with livecd: 153 mb (lots of extra programs)
full with sources: 241 mb
boot disk: 1.44 mb (just to boot into the cdroms)

There are also real diskette distros, usually
1, 2 or 3 diskettes stuffed with preinstalled
dos programs and documentation :-) Any volunteers
who would like to update / maintain my 3 diskette
distro? All of base, all docs of base, several
small extra apps :-).

I would also suggest to start a wiki page with
known caveats / bugs on installing. For example
I heard that the 1.0 non-English documentation
still mentions beta 9 at many places. It would
help to have a place to collect known issues.

Cheers, Eric
