Hello Alain,
This idea of Jim's is what is closer to what I had in mind.
I don't know how good would DOS programs requiring VGA (such as games) run,

I'm not used to it).

Dosemu will not be much different to a distro made with buildroot.
And uClibc will make porting additional Linux applications and drivers to
the distro more difficult.

Well, Maybe we could use buildroot [1] to create such minimalist distro
Buildroot is very flexible and allows to embed X

I know that squashfs is not feasible for older machines, but we can

I personaly prefer a mainstream distribution. I used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
The reason is that if other programs are need in the Linux part, it
would be easy to install.
Dosemu has a pretty good interation with Linux...

It looks very nice :)
Justa a question: does it have all Linux hardware drivers so that it can
run anywhere, including old an

Yes you could setup Nanolinux that way. I cannot estimate the footprint at
the moment but it could be less than 14 MB.
I will see if I can come up with such a version.

Hi,
I made a very small Linux distro called Nanolinux which is only 14 MB in
size:

I could add Virtualbox to that and then you would get a bootable ISO with

I was not able to do that on my laptop (running Debian) years ago in any

It works fine with dosemu
And it works fine booting Freedos Clean directly on VirtualBox too
