Hi Rugxulo
Thanks for the links, Vim history and massive amounts of good advice.

However, I truly lov

I do indeed want to use FreeDos with hardware but I also have to catch

be a good idea for a while too.
Enjoy your time offline, I hope the next few days are lots of fun-Pat

If you ask me, it is easiest to copy the files to your
target disk while it is connected directly to Linux.
As you are interested in small computers, you might

FTP? If you have a working packet driver (e.g. QEMU or VBox,
minimally), you can use mTCP.

floppy/CD/DVD drives, bad fans, fried USB ports etc.
Eric had a really interesting post today and I am following the other
Thanks Tom
This is very useful. I think I am going to give cross building a try,
this adds to some of my concerns about developing right on FreeDos..
My dos screen resolution is better now, thanks to Eric's tip but I have
a dual monitor setup on Linux. The monitors are rotated vertically and
