%hSvarDOS: The project's TODO list

* Replace the default (FreeDOS) edit with a smaller alternative (?) that is:
|
|
|
5 |
- TINY (a dozen of KiBs or so)
|
|
|
6 |
- relatively simple: no need for advanced text editing features, just enough
|
|
|
7 |
to comfortably edit small (<64K) configuration files
|
|
|
8 |
- 8086-compatible and have modest memory requirements
|
|
|
9 |
- multi-lang (kitten library)
|
|
|
10 |
- capable of (limited) copy/pasting between two files
|
| 286 |

11 |
|

12 |
* validate that CORE is 100%% 8086-compatible
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
13 |
|
|
|
14 |
* Networking setup at install time -> should crynwr be part of the install
|
|
|
15 |
set? Or only selected drivers? Or maybe this could be provided as a
|
|
|
16 |
"supplemental" floppy disk?
|
|
|
17 |
|
| 306 |
mateuszvis |
18 |
* make the COMMAND package smaller so there is no need for multiple
|
|
|
19 |
lang-dependant copies of the binary
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
* improve installer so user can choose the target disk
|
|
|
22 |
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
23 |
* add a "link" tool so users can easily create "links" to their favorite
|
|
|
24 |
programs (esp. things like zip/unzip, etc)
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
* install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of
|
|
|
27 |
system()-calling fdisk
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
|
29 |
* help - write more useful content!
|
| 304 |
mateuszvis |
30 |
-> basic DOS commands (directories, copy/rename/delete files, etc)
|
|
|
31 |
-> common configuration files (autoexec, config.sys, pkg.cfg, wattcp.cfg..)
|
|
|
32 |
-> networking guide
|
|
|
33 |
-> memory management basics
|
|
|
34 |
-> ...
|

35 |

36 |
* test new versions of software and update packages accordingly. special care
|
|
|
37 |
must be taken for core things: kernel, freecom, fdisk, himemx...
|
|
|
38 |
|
| 319 |
mateuszvis |
39 |
* add new, useful software to the SvarDOS repository (see the %lpkgrules.ama:rules%t)
|
|
|
40 |
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
41 |
* further NLS support, improvements of existing translations and adding new
|
|
|
42 |
languages -> would be nice to have some kind of web interface for submitting
|
|
|
43 |
and reviewing translations
|
|
|
44 |
|
| 304 |
mateuszvis |
45 |
* pkgnet.exe: implement the 'checkup' action for easy update checks
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
46 |
|
| 304 |
mateuszvis |
47 |
* possibly plenty of other things
