The basic idea is to start with a fresh install of an Ubuntu LTS server.
Then a Script could install all the rest. I am already doing this on a
project and it works very well, all scripts are posted on github:
https://github.com/alainm/nfas (sorry, it's in portuguese due to local
colaborators)
On basic script could install DOSEMU with an updated FreeDOS and maybe a
few needed packages. I have a set of guidelines that I could translate
Another small script could create a DOSEMU instance. The default screen
could be a FreeDOS console
Remember that dosemu can run a DOS program from de Linux command line ;-)
WHAT I DON'T KNOW is the minimum system to run graphics programs in
FreeDOS+Dosemu+Linux, I have allways used with X
_Would you give it a try_? Just start with a plain Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
32bits (use VirtualBox), it has a dosemu package that works prety well

Quoting Alain Mouette <ala...@pobox.com>:
Why not use all that effort to run FreeDOS over Linux? Dosemu works very
well...
It has already been done in the past, mas it was slackware based and as
soon as released had no mantainance, so it went dead.
*) you get all the drivers to run on any hardware
*) you can run multiple FreeDOS instances, it works very well
*) disk sharing works very well
*) networking via PacketDriver woks just fine, it may just be a bit
confusing to configure
and you can have background tasks in Linux for other tasks ans remote
access.
It would be just fine to make it over Ubuntu LTS, and I am willing to help.
PS: I have some legacy system runing in Dosemu and I use that regularly
for development
This is a brilliant idea that I would love to see come to life. I'm
interested in hearing more about this.
