suit yourself...
I just made available what could be the starting point...
Well, I had it almost ready and I use it regularly, so I am sure that it
works.
But of course, I undesrstand that the fun of it is making one's own ;-)

Hello Alain,
This idea of Jim's is what is closer to what I had in mind.
I don't know how good would DOS programs requiring VGA (such as games)
run, and in this case, I would find it more interesting to include X
(or FLTK, I'm not used to it).

I, for one, would be very interested to see a text-mode "small" Linux
that boots up an instance of DOSEMU instead of login on the first
available virtual terminal. (I'd put a regular Linux login on the
second VT.)
This would provide an interesting "sandbox" to run Linux on new
hardware. It would remove issues with hardware compatibility on newer
systems.
I don't know how small such a thing would be, but since it doesn't
require a GUI (Nanolinux uses FLTK instead of X) and "only" needs to
support DOSEMU, I imagine it would be quite small, probably smaller
than the 14MB for your Nanolinux.
