I, for one, would be very interested to see a text-mode "small" Linux that boots up an instance of DOSEMU instead of login on the first available virtual terminal. (I'd put a regular Linux login on the second VT.) This would provide an interesting "sandbox" to run Linux on new hardware. It would remove issues with hardware compatibility on newer systems. I don't know how small such a thing would be, but since it doesn't require a GUI (Nanolinux uses FLTK instead of X) and "only" needs to support DOSEMU, I imagine it would be quite small, probably smaller than the 14MB for your Nanolinux. jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
