Description Chris Adams 2004-03-03 01:28:30 UTC

Most of the contents of the dosutils directory on the first CD can go
away.  Since there are no boot floppy images, rawrite and rawritewin
are useless.  Most computers now have NTFS, so both fips versions are
about obsolete.  Will loadlin work from Windows?  Anyone with a CD
burner under Windows will have something like Easy CD or Nero that can
read a CD itself, so readcd isn't much needed.

Anyway, at least a good bit of it could go away.

parted in rescue mode easily replaces fips anyway.

Comment 2 Tim Powers 2004-03-04 05:15:43 UTC

Thanks for the report. It's now gone. It won't exist in the rawhide or test trees any 
longer.

Comment 3 Chris Adams 2004-03-10 02:21:18 UTC

I just thought to check: you need to update the top-level README files
to remove references to dosutils as well.

Comment 7 Ed Bailey 2004-03-11 17:41:04 UTC

The directory (and its contents) are gone, and the README has been
updated...
