ERRATA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the errata file for the Beta9 distribution.

Any major problems or important updates for Beta9 will be posted in this
file.  Please read this file before reporting bugs against Beta8 or Beta8 H1,
to ensure that you are not reporting a problem that is already known.

If you find a bug in the FreeDOS Beta9 distribution, please do not email
me directly.  Instead, please post a bug in the FreeDOS Bugtrack database
(please search for your bug first - try to avoid entering a duplicate
bug.)  See http://www.freedos.org/bugs/



MAY BE MIS-IDENTIFIED AS BUGS:

* Fat32 support is still considered EXPERIMENTAL, though it
  seems stable, many programs still do not support it or have
  only limited support for Fat32 partitions.

* Only the BASE and SRC-BASE disks have been included,
  until a proper release has been made.

* The GUI disk set only includes SEAL, which requires a 386+, mouse,
  and VGA or better.

* The NET disk set is not included.

* Xkeyb updated, I still need to ensure the list displayed 
  during install corresponds with all available KEY files,
  i.e. some new KEY files may be present but not selectable.


THINGS THAT ARE BROKEN:

* Format included has limited/initial support for Fat32,
  so use with care.

* No others known at this time (other than those listed in bugtrack).
