Freedos is Free Software. Read the licence or in short read the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software You have the right to do almost everything you want. In your case it's very much allowed to burn/install/copy wherever you want. So far about the legal part. I recommend you to use CD-RW and a virtualizer for your tests. DOS on CD is no problem. But personally I prefer more to have bootable USB with DOS instant of CD because it's more easy to modify/update. If you want it on CD first create a (virtual) bootable floppy image. Later burn it on CD using fdd emulation boot. Or use grub4dos or memdisk to emulate the bootable floppy. The most easy way for single boot would be to burn such a floppy image with nero. -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
