I am confused here. I installed FreeDOS 1.0 Full on a 10-year Dell.

That was part of the point: Ibiblio has high capacity servers
and there are even regional mirrors

Yup, we're looking to extend that by adding updates to packages in the distro.
Actually, I do not think that FDUPDATE as currently being discussed
could be retrofitted to the FreeDOS 1.0 distro. I think it would need
to go with a FreeDOS 1.1 distro (i.e. the next one) so we could make a
common set

Hi Eric:
Sorry, I misread it. That is my method as well - use ISOLINUX.
VFD (Virtual Floppy Driver) is a good, non-Vista, method of
"editing" floppy disk images. It mounts the image file as
a lettered floppy drive and you can copy files, do drag and
drop, or whatever. Executing the "SYS" comma
Hi Mark,
actually no FreeDOS distro has used harddisk images yet. The
mkisofs command shown below does not use any image at all.
Instead, it uses "no emul boot" to load isolinux, and this
then loads a compressed diskette image into a memdisk ramdisk
and boots it. Compared to using a classic diske
Hi Enbor:
One day, I wrote up a rather detailed set of instructions for doing
this and customizing it. The big difference is that I use a floppy
disk image to boot - it seems to work in more computers than the
hard disk image, Anyway, you can look at

Hi Enbor,

Actually it is not hard :-). You just copy all CD contents to a
directory on harddisk, then edit the contents, and run:
mkisofs -R -D -V "FreeDOS 1.0b" -o /tmp/fdbasecd-remastered.iso -b \
./isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
Hi, is there an easy way to make a custom FreeDOS bootable CD?
I would like to make a CD similar to the installation one, which
automatically boots in live CD mode and with some programs which a re
not included in the basecd.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
As I got several nice comments about FDUPDATE, I worked on it that night, and
released a new version few minutes ago.
FDUPDATE v0.51 features a "new software install" mode, which you can use to
install new packages on your FreeDOS system. It uses the same server than for
updates, but instea

Indeed, but some (or even most) of these packages are outdated, and
