It would be nice if the documentation was better than when I last tried to read it. Developers [especially no english speaking] shouldn't have to make the final documentation. Some mechanism [perhaps wiki-like] to harvest the users contribution towards documentation could possibly work. Apparently Debian is 'strong on organisation [with a constitution..etc]' and they don't like DOSemu's chaos. == Chris Glur. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
