Hi Jude,

Thanks a lot for reporting the issues with the script. I checked with 
the FreeDOS project what had happened and that package had been renamed.

If you update to the latest version of the script, everything will work 
correctly. Missing files are simply skipped from now on and the renamed 
package has been incorporated too.

Be sure to let it know if you run into more issues!

Best regards,
Julius
