Hi, is there an easy way to make a custom FreeDOS bootable CD?
I would like to make a CD similar to the installation one, which
automatically boots in live CD mode and with some programs which a re

Thanks in advance.
Hi Enbor,
Hi, is there an easy way to make a custom FreeDOS bootable CD?
Actually it is not hard :-). You just copy all CD contents to a
directory on harddisk, then edit the contents, and run:
mkisofs -R -D -V FreeDOS 1.0b -o /tmp/fdbasecd-remastered.iso -b \
./isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
Hi Enbor:
One day, I wrote up a rather detailed set of instructions for doing
this and customizing it. The big difference is that I use a floppy
disk image to boot - it seems to work in more computers than the
hard disk image, Anyway, you can look at
Hi Eric:
Sorry, I misread it. That is my method as well - use ISOLINUX.
VFD (Virtual Floppy Driver) is a good, non-Vista, method of
editing floppy disk images. It mounts the image file as
a lettered floppy drive and you can copy files, do drag and
drop, or whatever. Executing the SYS command

Hi Mark,
actually no FreeDOS distro has used harddisk images yet. The
mkisofs command shown below does not use any image at all.
Instead, it uses no emul boot to load isolinux, and this
then loads a compressed diskette image into a memdisk ramdisk
and boots it. Compared to using a classic

Hi Juan:
One way to get a bootable CD is to use a combination of isolinux and memdisk
to boot a floppy disk image. I BELIEVE that this is the method most compatible
