%hSvarDOS: The project's TODO list
 
* Replace the default (FreeDOS) edit with a smaller alternative (?)
-> must be TINY
-> no need for advanced text editing features, just enough to comfortably
edit small (<64K) configuration files
-> must be 8086-compatible and have modest memory requirements
-> must be NLS-aware (multi-language)
 
* validate that CORE is 100% 8086-compatible
 
* build process: the install floppy should be built as much as possible using
existing packages (ie. remove the custom "files" directory from svn)
 
* 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
 
* add a "link" tool so users can easily create "links" to their favorite
programs (esp. things like zip/unzip, etc)
 
* pkg.exe: add an 'unzip' option so pkg.exe can be used as a poor man's unzip
 
* install.com - MBR changes could be done by the installer itself instead of
system()-calling fdisk
 
* help - write more useful content!
 
* 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 checking
