Try creating a "raw" disk image instead of "qcow" and trying to work with that. IIRC, that might help, but I could be wrong. > But shouldn't 100mb be enough to install freedos?

As mentioned, 100 MB is more than enough for "BASE", but to add all the extras (VIM, FreeDoom, FPC), you need more. Don't forget that FreeDOS' kernel and shell (and HIMEMX) can all fit on floppy. Actually, since DOS is so lean and mean, you can fit a lot on a floppy. :-) But I'm guessing you want more than just the raw basics. :-/ If none of this helps, try using either a newer QEMU (0.13.0 is latest) or go back to 0.9.0, but unfortunately, all emulators have bugs, so nothing's perfect. :-/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
