Yep, the bootloader and a FreeDOS kernel with the boot message removed. Problem solved. :) On 6/15/2016 6:57 PM, Jayden Charbonneau wrote: I may be wrong on this,but couldn't we just strip down the code used for FreeDOS?Removing un-needed modules,drivers,and removing any COUT/PRINTF

Re: [Freedos-devel] Fwd: I'd like an absolute minimal version of FreeDOS.

It sure can :) The most straightforward way I can think of to do this would be to use eliminate everything from FreeCOM on up. This would leave you with the FreeDOS bootloader and kernel.sys. Kernel.sys seems to only need command.com, so whatever you make could load in its place right there,

With some sort of process that can run programs,obviously.Unless that's not what you wanted? Would you be using NASM or something of the liking,or DIRECTLY inputting assembly/machine statements into the CPU? On Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 6:57 PM, Jayden Charbonneau < binarybyte@gmail.com> wrote:

>From Ben Hutchinson By minimal, I mean that the boot sector program, and the kernel (kernel.sys), don't do any displaying of text. All they need to do is set up the DOS interrupt vectors (so that they behave correctly just as with MS-DOS), and then load and execute the first
