By far not an expert and rarely visit the FreeDOS download page, however your description is quite confusing. I think most people download the latest and greatest release ISOs, along with any associated ISOs for that releases, such as extras. Those reverting to an older ISO version, will be doing so for avoiding bugs within newer ISO releases or for other exquisite reasons. For the older versions, they will also be looking for all associated ISO versions along with ISO extras. Very rarely will people be looking for developement/experimental builds, and are more frequently updated due to fast moving pace of the source code or builds. Roger
