Hi, I’m sorry that I am just now getting around to responding to your question. The last couple weeks have been busy for me.

For starters, you should work from probably base your custom ISO on the new 1.3 release. It is much easier to build and customize than 1.2. It is especially easier when comes to creating the CD ISOs. There a couple of minor things that still need to be done on 1.3 before release. But hopefully, it won’t be too much longer before RC2 ships. To get started, follow the instructions in the Wiki at https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/builder/wikis/home <https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/builder/wikis/home>. This is the process used to create the Official Release Media and has been nearly completely automated. Once you get the build environment properly setup, creating a custom release is super easy and I can point you to what you need to change in order to accomplish what you want. :-) > > > > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
