I was just wondering, ther are a lot of cool ideas of things we want to put
into OpenDOS, but...
IS SOMEONE KEEPING TRACK OF THEM?????
I'd hate it if there was some cool idea, but we just 'forgot' about it.
These are the ideas I can remeber:

1] Direct screen write (!!!!!!OPTIONAL!!!!!!!!)
2] LFN support (with space please, I happen to like them)
3] IFS support
4] File Descriptions
5] Make OD boot from *any* partion or HD
6] Compile all drivers in the kernel
7] Make sure OpenDOS doesn't run on DEC Rainbows :-)))

And a question:
I read (in the mailing list) that a harddisk can only supprt 4 partitions.
But is this a hardware limit or a software limit?
Because I once tried to install OS/2 WARP and I had a bootmanager, which
Linux saw a /dev/hda5, as in the 5th (fifth!!!) partition (I didn't have a
/dev/hda3 and a /dev/hda4 though).
