Yes, Eric:
Networking with Samba is a bit complicated to configure, but Bryan
and Frantisek have recently done that for Bryan's computers, so
they can probably share some tricks.
We have indeed done this! So I don't need to transfer data via USB stick.

It is not that it can not do it. It is only that it’s original design (as a

Hi Jerome,
if FDIMPLES is specifically used in advanced mode, where
more data has to be processed, I would suggest to consider
automatically enabling support for XMS when XMS is found.
Do you say that the amount of required RAM does not depend on
the number of packages, but on the size of the la

FDIMPLES and FDINST are both made for 8086. FDIMPLES is limited to only using
low memory (640k). I

Hi Jerome,
thanks for the explanation, but are we talking about DOS
RAM (at most 640 kB) here? Or EMS, XMS, protected mode?
In FDIMPLES, FDINST of FDNPKG, and other involved apps?
How much RAM do you recommend to be free? Could FDIMPLES
shrink before calling FDINST and grow back when it exits?

If you want to replace parts of FreeDOS with MS-DOS stuff, it's up to

Hi, Eric. Yes I agree.
Guys, I built regular 486DX2 66Mhz. I would not be that guy and put PCI

Good job devs. Remove the kernel next time. That should help make
