Hi! Yes, it is possible to use FDUPDATE to keep a 1.0 system up to date. However, you won't be able to use it to go from 1.0 to 1.1, as the 1.1 distro will use slightly modified packages. Repositories for 1.0 and 1.1 will be different, too (1.0 will still get its update from http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/fdupdate/, while 1.1 update server doesn't have an official URL yet). FDUPDATE doesn't know what system it is running on, so it's up to you to use the right version (well, I may add a check of the version, if anyone would be able to tell me how to distinguish in a reliable way a 1.0 install from a 1.1 one...). So: For FreeDOS v1.0 use FDUDPATE v0.54 For FreeDOS v1.1 use FDUPDATE v0.55 (not officially released yet) Best regards, Mateusz Viste -- You'll find my public OpenPGP key at http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/pub_key
