Hi Rugxulo, I am still a fan of a FD 1.1 bootable USB image. By this time I use Qemu to build one, too. It is much easier to make the image bootable with Qemu than with Grub4DOS or Syslinux.
Today I wear an USB stick together with my key ring with a bootable FD 1.1 image. I have created this image with Qemu and use some stuff like FDNPKG, the latest MPXPLAY and ideas from METADOS for my FreeDOS to go. And if I need new things on this image I boot FreeDOS on the stick with Qemu. In this way I can use Internet to load new stuff over FDNPKG on the stick. Another possibility is to put the stick into the USB port of my Linux computer just to copy stuff on this stick with a terminal or a file manager. And to use FreeDOS to go I can easily boot the stick with a computer. For the near future I like to build a FD 1.1 emulator like the ready to use Raspberry Pi emulator package for Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpiqemuwindows/ So that you can easy run FD 1.1 with Qemu on Windows by executing a run.bat. For Linux users like me I would put a run.sh into the ZIP file, too, but Qemu executables just for the Windows users. :-) Kind regards Christian Am Wed, 10 Jun 2015 13:38:30 -0500 schrieb Rugxulo <rugx...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > I somehow stumbled upon this blog/website which seems to host a FD 1.1 > bootable USB image (and tells steps on how to make/install it ... with > screenshots!). > > http://joelinoff.com/blog/?p=431 > > Maybe I missed it, but I'm not sure if any of us directly discussed > this before, so I'm mentioning it here, in case anyone else finds it > interesting. > > I do vaguely remember Christian Imhorst discussing something similar a > year or so ago.
