As discussed in #1819 (comment), the excessive memory usage in
fsck-dos
was identified, where each directory entry found was allocating 256 bytes for a filename. Since ELKS only handles 26 characters max for FAT, this was shortened, andfsck-dos
is no longer running out of memory on 1440k floppy disks.This PR adds
fsck-dos
to the 1440k distribution, for testing:I'll look for a man page for ELKS, but this one from OpenBSD seems to describe its use fairly accurately.
