Hi!
Of course you can install DOS on a computer for itself
or on a harddisk for itself. You can also install it
on a partition, while other operating systems have the
other partitions. The more of the PC DOS has for itself
the smaller the risk is to damage other data, sure :-)

There has been a fair amount of just run it under emulation being said.
One of the advantages of DOS is that it isn't a modern operating system.
An easy way to install Freedos safely to a desktop computer involves the
following:
0) Back up all existing systems.
1) Disconnect all existing hard dri

This sounds to me as if VirtualBox is NOT posting the "media change"

Hi Ulrich,
thanks for the hint! I have commented out the line in autoexec.bat which loads

A very good Wiki page on printing with netcat!
Netcat can be used in many ways. I find connecting to a command shell on a
Windows PC and transfering files an interesting application. I did not have
a chance to test that yet though.

Hi Wolfgang,
I just tested this with FreeDOS 1.1 as guest and VirtualBox 4.1.14 under OS X
as host and it works for me.
I start FreeDOS with option 1 in the start menu.
I did not load UIDE.SYS in AUTOEXEC.BAT, as I normally don't work with CDs in
FreeDOS anyway and VirtualBox conflicts with t
Hi Marco,
thanks for your quick reply! However, your suggestion couldn't solve my problem.

Dear experts,
I have some floppy images I want to use with FreeDos that is running in a VM
(VirtualBox). The images work fine with e.g. Windows in such an environment.

Hi, I have created a small fat32 patision on my Intel Mac. I have Mac OS
