I use MPLAYER to demonstrate playing an MP3 file. Mplayer is a "no frills" way to listen to music files on FreeDOS, to say the least. But it works fine. I also use Open Cubic Player to play a WAV audio file. > > how to access your FreeDOS virtual drive from Linux > > With DOSEMU2? It just is a Linux directory from the start :-) > The article shows how to use guestmount on Linux to access a virtual hard disk image. guestmount will recognize disk images from several popular virtual machines, including QEMU's "img" and "qcow2," and VirtualBox. Typical usage, to access the first partition in the freedos.img disk image file, and make it available from the /tmp/freedos directory on Linux: $ mkdir /tmp/freedos $ guestmount -a freedos.img -m /dev/sda1 /tmp/freedos > How long are the episodes?

I assume by "episodes" you mean "articles"? I didn't run a word count on them, but I'd guess they are between 700 to 1000 words, depending on the topic. For example, my upcoming article about how to use guestmount is 700+ words, including a few sample Linux command lines. The upcoming article about Mplayer and OpenCP is 800+ words, including a few short DOS command lines. But the upcoming article about GW-BASIC is much longer (1300+ words) because I first talk about GW-BASIC, then I show how to write a simple "guess the number" game in GW-BASIC. So that one is like two articles in one. :-) Jim _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
