I tried building SVN revision 1569, successfully this time (TC 2 in dosemu). But the support for Linux cross-builds did suggest a few things: 1 Could freedos-sys-perl go somewhere in the kernel tree, and could it just use the standard bootsectors as found therein? The bootsectors have been updated a few times since it was written. 2. It's possible to make a blank floppy image like so in Linux: mkfs.msdos -C bootfd.img 1440 Then mtools could write the kernel, etc over: mcopy -i bootfd.img kernel.sys ::kernel.sys etc. Then install the boot sector. Could this be added as a make target (make image/make 144) This would come in particularly handy for automatically preparing "OEM" or similar images, or running a buildserver.
