To be quite honest, I know it may seem a bit illogical to do but, I am trying to move myself towards a more traditional (retro?) way of computing. Learning how to use the Linux system from the terminal was the start, and now I am trying to use freeDOS. It is a bit of a learning curve though, for some reason... or maybe I am just not fully understanding the freeDOS way. For example, I used FDIMPLES to install some software that I thought would be useful to have, including the FREEMACS program. I have yet to be able to find it on my freeDOS system. I see that some things that I had installed, take pico for example, can be invoked from just about anywhere on the system, but almost everything else that I installed, I cannot even find. Is there something that I am missing, or is there a method to the way (and where) things are installed? Maybe a quick beginners course is due for me :) . I really like the work flow from the terminal (or command line), and I think that this is where I am going to be from now on. I'm attracted to it, and getting all of your work done IS possible to do this way. I will figure this out, I WILL contribute everything.
