The installer supports (but does not require) the ability to format a hard disk partition before it installs.
An unformat utility was added to GeekDOS 19.04 to allow you to unformat a drive you accidentally formatted.
There is now two new color schemes for the menus in the DOS navigator GUI included with GeekDOS, blue menus and pink fever.
Junk files such as files.bbs and file_id.diz have been removed from this release.
There is a more beautiful CD boot sequence that shows the word GeekDOS in ASCII art.
Since the CD says welcome to GeekDOS, the boot sequence now says "Starting GeekDOS..." with more details below.
Some pre-set aliases allow you to do some tasks faster and easier. To shut down you system, instead of typing "C:\shutdown s" you would type halt or poweroff like in a Linux based machine. You can also type reboot to restart the machine. paint can now be invoked from any directory at the prompt, and so can mpxplay. Instead of having to type the non-sensicle "dn" to get back into the GUI, you can now type "gui" or "ui". I feel this to be a feature that should have been added many releases ago. I waited because it is not possible to use these aliases in other command interpreters or when you relaunch "command.com".
Sets partition label to GEEKDOS when formatting during install.
