Hi, (before I comment on my brief experiences with your distro)

I'm not sure what is the best foundation to build upon. Debian? Arch? Gentoo?? Linux From Scratch??? (Heck, even FreeBSD used to support DOSEMU, but nowadays you're probably stuck with an ancient QEMU 0.11 or perhaps bhyve, which I've never tried). I'm not complaining. Your distro is interesting, but I'm not sure I have much insight for how to noticeably improve it. Puppy is quite a bit smaller than Ubuntu. I'm honestly not sure if they still make Ubuntu derivatives anymore. I'm still (sometimes) natively using ancient Lucid Puppy, which is considered quite old. I do see some builds (and forgot I briefly tested under VM) Tahr-Pup 6.x, but I don't know the details. The only real advantage to Puppy is leanness (perhaps too much), thus much smaller size. Of course, whichever Puppy version being compatible with an LTS release isn't bad by any stretch. Though I don't honestly know if it's worth switching, if you know what I mean. So I don't really keep up-to-date with Puppy by any stretch, even if I like it. 1). http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-tahr/iso/ (unfortunately, the following topics are somewhat old, so they may not apply to all versions) 2a). http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57096 2b). http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=87318 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
