It would not be the first driver which is not always automatically doing the right thing. However, DOS users are known to know what they do, so you can include the driver in the distro. Simply drop it from being part of the default config and autoexec :-) Same for USB or network drivers. In FreeDOS 1.0, those would hang on some PC, so it would have been better to not activate them by default. Still it was good that they were included in the distro in general :-) > Per a different suggestion, switched to using UDVD2 and the problems > vanished. UDVD2 is by the same author... Good point. UDVD2 is a good choice for those who want a CD/DVD driver and need something newer than the latest open source version of XCDROM. However, I would still include (but not default-activate) one of the UIDE family drivers for those who want extra harddisk UDMA support.
