* 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?
* replace FreeCOM by SvarCOM
 
* 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
 
* COUNTRY settings shall be configurable by localcfg (and user should be
able to define local preferences through an easy-to-use wizard during
install time)
 
* out-of-the box networking support:
- requires shipping lots of packet drivers with SvarDOS... Should CRYNWR be
part of the install set? Or only selected, most popular drivers? Or maybe
this could be provided as a "supplemental" floppy disk?
- user should be asked for its NIC model at install time
- installer could also ask for a basic DHCP / static configuration
 
* add a "link" tool so users can easily create "links" to their favorite
programs (esp. things like zip/unzip, etc)
programs (esp. things like zip/unzip, etc). Might be something integrated
within SvarCOM, or a third-party TSR.
 
* 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...

- implement the 'checkup' action for easy update checks
- support for alternative versions (eg: pkgnet pull dosmid@0.9.1)
