If you want to put stuff into or take stuff out of a Virtual Machine hard drive, you should stick with a Flat Fixed Size VMDK. That is one that is not split into pieces and is pre-allocated to the entire size. You end up with two files for the Virtual Machines hard drive. One is a descriptor/configuration file. The other file is a normal disk image even if it is using a different file extension. That image can be burned to USB sticks or mounted easily on Linux, Unix, Mac and related systems. There are programs for Windows that can also mount standard image files. Other formats are just that… other formats. Good luck trying to mount those to copy stuff around.
The USB stick images for the FreeDOS release are created in a reverse process. The RBE creates an image file. Mounts it and puts all the stuff onto it. Then the RBE programmatically generates the descriptor/config file for that image. This provides a VMDK that can be mounted by many Virtual machine platforms. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
