I agree. Please don't make Debian's install dependent on having DOS.
I didn't have DOS/Win95 set up for a long time after I had Debian
running, and I never have learned much about it. I keep it around for
games though, Zork Nemesis, Warcraft II, Quake with Trent Reznor's
soundtrack soundtrack (the Linux version can't play the CD), etc.
DOS/Win handles that stuff OK, but that's as much as I want to know.
And as mentioned, DOS is worthless for other platforms.

Here's a (very) short patch to allow IMAP passwords starting with
whitespace. I like the 'is' capabilities in this version which
negates the need for my more extensive patches.
