Wonderful, will the program allow extracting files from the RWFS partition/floppy to the local, physical FS as well as inserting files?

EDIT: I sent you a PM with a slightly optimized version of boot/stage1.asm :)

How 'bout something to convert a small FAT partition to an RWFS partition? That would be a reasonable goal for v2.0, as well as uber-nifty!

Okay, I ought to tell you, I was being half-sarcastic about that post, it's way over the heads of even people like Solar or possibly Brendan. :)

It's almost done, it can now.
  • Format a pre-existing image
    Make and format a new image
    Install a bootsector on an image
Also, by the end of the week I should be able to add files onto an image. I'll keep you posted.
