It's what DOSBox is for. It's a very locked down device. There's an option in the EFI to select "Linux" or "Windows" boot mode. But you could simply buy the ComputeStick model that has Ubuntu Linux pre-loaded on it: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Compute-Stick-Linux-BOXSTCK1A8LFCCR/dp/B00UYHE60Y However, I don't have experience with that model. We purchased the ComputeStick to evaluate it as a possible replacement in our campus computer labs, which run Windows. So we bought the Windows ComputeStick. I was able to boot a Fedora Linux LiveUSB on it, just to try it out, but it was really sloooooooooooooooow to boot and (IIRC) didn't recognize the wireless interface. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
