XP is dead as a doornail (since 2014), so is even Win7 nowadays. No

Linux started in 1991 on a 386 with 2 MB of RAM. Granted, newer
releases need a tad more. ;-)

I have a Linux based gateway, Debian Buster based. It occurs to me that I could
run an ftp or http server to serve out freedos locally.
How would I point fdnpkg to the local repository? How would I mirror ibiblio
without putting too much load on it?

Do you know if they are literally one single disk image simply split into
pieces? If so, there are file joining programs to perform this function.
Come to think of it, most un-archivers can reassemble the split files into one,
but it depends on how the file was split in the first place.

I'm on a CentOS 7 system. I downloaded a rar archive of Wordperfect 6.0 dos
that is an archive of floppy images. I do not at this time have real floppy
support... but I do have zip disks. Is there a way I can mount these images and
create one larger image?
I'm using fdnpkg to install to a zip disk.
I am finding that I have to delete a lot of files because I copied another
installation of freedos 1.3 minus the packages and appinfo and source
directories...
Would be nice if fdnpkg would clobber when it encounters a file it is trying to
install.
