%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
|

* replace FreeCOM by SvarCOM
|

14 |
* improve installer so user can choose the target disk
|
|
|
15 |
|
| 551 |
mateuszvis |
16 |
* COUNTRY settings shall be configurable by localcfg (and user should be
|
|
|
17 |
able to define local preferences through an easy-to-use wizard during
|
|
|
18 |
install time)
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
* out-of-the box networking support:
|
|
|
21 |
- requires shipping lots of packet drivers with SvarDOS... Should CRYNWR be
|
|
|
22 |
part of the install set? Or only selected, most popular drivers? Or maybe
|
|
|
23 |
this could be provided as a "supplemental" floppy disk?
|
|
|
24 |
- user should be asked for its NIC model at install time
|
|
|
25 |
- installer could also ask for a basic DHCP / static configuration
|
|
|
26 |
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
27 |
* install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of
|
|
|
28 |
system()-calling fdisk
|
|
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
* help - write more useful content!
|
| 551 |
mateuszvis |
31 |
- basic DOS commands (directories, copy/rename/delete files, etc)
|
|
|
32 |
- common configuration files (autoexec, config.sys, pkg.cfg, wattcp.cfg..)
|
|
|
33 |
- networking guide
|
|
|
34 |
- memory management basics
|
|
|
35 |
- ...

37 |
* test new versions of software and update packages accordingly. special care
|
| 584 |
mateuszvis |
38 |
must be taken for core things: kernel, command.com, fdisk, himemx...
|
| 304 |
mateuszvis |
39 |
|
| 319 |
mateuszvis |
40 |
* add new, useful software to the SvarDOS repository (see the %lpkgrules.ama:rules%t)
|
|
|
41 |
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
42 |
* further NLS support, improvements of existing translations and adding new
|
|
|
43 |
languages -> would be nice to have some kind of web interface for submitting
|
|
|
44 |
and reviewing translations
|
|
|
45 |
|
| 584 |
mateuszvis |
46 |
* all user-facing CORE packages should be NLS-aware (translatable)
|
| 286 |
mateuszvis |
47 |
|
| 561 |
mateuszvis |
48 |
* possibly plenty of other things
