This directory contains package repositories used by the FreeDOS package manager (FDNPKG).

You can download all files at once via the all_cd.iso file, and use it as an offline source of packages on non-networked FreeDOS systems.
Note, that the all_cd.iso CDROM is bootable, and will allow you to install a working FreeDOS system from scratch.

Below you will find the list of available FDNPKG repositories, with the URL of each of them (which you can use inside FDNPKG's configuration file), as well as a short description of what the repository is supposed to contain. If you'd like to see a detailed content of each repository, look into LISTING.TXT.
