I think having a proper installation (though not > necessarily "BASE" only) inside a public .VMDK file might be nice. Thanks to reading OS News, it seems that other recent OSes also come as emulator images or even bundle QEMU. In particular, I'm thinking of (untested by me) IcAROS 2.0 and ReactOS 0.3.17. So it's obviously not that unpopular an idea. It certainly makes it easier to test things out. 1). http://vmwaros.blogspot.it/2014/10/trick-or-treat-icaros-desktop-20-is-here.html 2). https://reactos.org/node/911 BTW, half the reason of mentioning this here is this: "A major new feature for this [ReactOS] release is the inclusion of NTVDM, which provides support for a wide range of 16bit applications, a long requested feature by the community. NTVDM is still undergoing work but we felt that it was ready enough to provide a sneak peak to the wider community." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
