2007-10-02 I keep getting the occasional user who has downloaded a really old version of the FreeDOS distribution (usually Beta5) and even though they ftp'd it from 'official.old' on the ibiblio archive, these users still ask me why things are out of date or do not work correctly. I keep pointing them to the 1.0 distribution, and that seems to work fine for them. So to remove any confusion, I plan to remove the old FreeDOS distributions from ibiblio, effective next week. 2007-11-28 I have put the "pre-1.0" distributions back online, but they are not generally accessible, for the reasons mentioned above. Please contact me if you have a specific need to obtain any of the "pre-1.0" releases: 0.05.ALPHA/ 0.1.BETA/ 0.2.BETA/ 0.3.BETA/ 0.4.BETA/ 0.5.BETA/ 0.6.BETA/ 0.7.BETA/ 0.8.BETA/ 0.9rc1.BETA/ 0.9rc2.BETA/ 0.9rc3.BETA/ 0.9rc4.BETA/ 0.9rc5.BETA/ 0.9.BETA/ 0.9sr1.BETA/ 0.9sr2.BETA/ ripcord/
