Hi,
UPX appears indeed in two repositories - IIRC I've put it into both
DEVEL and UTIL, since it seemed to fit both..
Of course I am interested in your isolinux image, although I don't fully
understand the benefits of using isolinux versus a 'normal' floppy
emulation?
To create the FDNPKG CD

In fact, it doesn't freeze all the time!
Curiously, the behavior of UDVD2 (or VirtualBox, depends of the point of
view I guess) is quite erratic. I rebooted the VBox machine several
times. Sometimes it works fine (UDVD2 don't freeze), sometimes it
freezes for a short moment (like 5-10s), and som
Hi,
I did updated my VirtualBox install with the latest version available
(the Oracle one, not the OSE) - 4.2.16. Unfortunately, UDVD2 still
freezes there for - literally - a minute. It starts booting, and gets
stuck for ~1 minute on the screen on the screenshot below.

Okay, I understand now. The whole thing is not much about CDROM drives,
but rather on any possible substitute that people can use

You're right.
A quick additional note:
Out of pure curiosity, I configured the CD drive in my VirtualBox
FreeDOS machine as being a SATA one (that is, attached to a SATA / AHCI
controller).
Unfortunately, both XCDROM.SYS and UDVD2.SYS failed to recognize it.
So for the time being I will put back XCDROM in th

Updated to 2041.

But is udvd2 really better than xcdrom ? What is 'user-perceived'

Well, 2036 wasn't exactly horribly buggy nor super old (FD 1.0 in

Nope, not a 'demo' purpose at all. It's all supposed to be pretty up to

Thanks for making this
Hi all,
Some times ago I announced that I will always keep an up-to-date CD
version of all FDNPKG repositories, so everyone could download the CD
and use it as an offline set of repositories to install/update packages.
Yesterday I created a small FreeDOS boot image and added it to the CD.
So n
