%hSvarDOS: The project's TODO list |
|
* Replace the default (FreeDOS) edit with a smaller alternative (?) that is: |
- TINY (a dozen of KiBs or so) |
- relatively simple: no need for advanced text editing features, just enough |
to comfortably edit small (<64K) configuration files |
- 8086-compatible and have modest memory requirements |
- multi-lang (kitten library) |
- capable of (limited) copy/pasting between two files |
|
* validate that CORE is 100%% 8086-compatible |
|
* Networking setup at install time -> should crynwr be part of the install |
set? Or only selected drivers? Or maybe this could be provided as a |
"supplemental" floppy disk? |
|
* bootable USB install image |
|
* make the COMMAND package smaller so there is no need for multiple |
lang-dependant copies of the binary |
|
* improve installer so user can choose the target disk |
|
* add a "link" tool so users can easily create "links" to their favorite |
programs (esp. things like zip/unzip, etc) |
|
* install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of |
system()-calling fdisk |
|
* help - write more useful content! |
-> basic DOS commands (directories, copy/rename/delete files, etc) |
-> common configuration files (autoexec, config.sys, pkg.cfg, wattcp.cfg..) |
-> networking guide |
-> memory management basics |
-> ... |
|
* test new versions of software and update packages accordingly. special care |
must be taken for core things: kernel, freecom, fdisk, himemx... |
|
* further NLS support, improvements of existing translations and adding new |
languages -> would be nice to have some kind of web interface for submitting |
and reviewing translations |
|
* pkgnet.exe: implement the 'checkup' action for easy update checks |
|
* possibly plenty of other things |
|
