Hi David: It is straightforward to create a bootable FreeDOS CD. I think the easiest way to do it is to take a floppy disk image and boot that from the CD. This restricts the boot image to 1.44MBytes (or 2.88MBytes if you get tricky). However, you can add a CD-ROM driver and then add a lot o

I believe FreeDOS is not just relegated to Virtualization usage at all. I run FreeDOS alone on a 486DX2-66 as a full O/S and it's very useful to run DOS games, test DOS programs that I write myself and more! On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 11:23 AM, Florian Xaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is the goa

While this may be the toughest goal, it would be great if Freedos could just add support for some of the newer hardware. Not all of it, because some are heavily dependent upon a GUI environment. But much is not. Pushing toward more elaborate GUI front ends will only bog down Freedos, and I thin

I like especially to see Jim's opinion here. The question is what are the goals of the FreeDOS project and what not... Is the goal to become only a 100 % MS-DOS replacement or also higher goals? Like to become an alternative for desktop end users, a competitor to windows/linux? Do you consider

Consider downloading the iso for damn small linux at: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org It's a bootable CD and is great for doing system repair. It can handle most any type of disk system (dos, window,linux, etc) and can do networking and usb as well. All from the boot cdrom. It's so small it can
