Re: [Freedos-user] Import DOS executable to FreeDOS 1.4 over Virtual Box

Hi! Of course I have advertised it before but: If you use Dosemu2, you can simply have a Linux directory which is visible to DOS as a drive letter of your choice, even bootable C: if you like. That makes it trivially easy to exchange files between DOS and your Ubuntu Linux host operating syste

If the binary is small, you might also create a floppy image and add your files to that. On Tue, May 6, 2025 at 10:59 AM Louis Santillan wrote: > Why not create an ISO of your folder and add it to your VM? From there, > FreeDOS's included SHSUCDX & UIDE/UDVD2 should let you see the ISO as drive

Re: [Freedos-user] Import DOS executable to FreeDOS 1.4 over Virtual Box

Why not create an ISO of your folder and add it to your VM? From there, FreeDOS's included SHSUCDX & UIDE/UDVD2 should let you see the ISO as drive D or another letter. ``` genisoimage -o .iso -V -v -J -R -U -iso-level 3 / ``` On Tue, May 6, 2025 at 3:39 AM John Thomas via Freedos-user < freedo

Re: [Freedos-user] Import DOS executable to FreeDOS 1.4 over Virtual Box

There are a few solutions for this. I run Linux as my day-to-day system, and I boot FreeDOS in a virtual machine from there. I have to copy files from/to my FreeDOS virtual machine all the time. I find the *guestmount* command line program is the easiest way to "mount" a FreeDOS virtual disk so I
