Hi Jerome
My original question was about the maximum size of access directory. It
appears to be about 512Mb. FreeDos will not run under QEMU if this size
is exceeded. My image file was 200Mb. I have removed KVM and QEMU and
had planned to reinstall with a 2G image as you suggest. This being
Hi,
Since you said, the source code is about 640MB and is on an old XP machine….
Why not just boot the FreeDOS Live CD, enable LFN support by installing the
driver to the Live Environment and running it.
Then install the compiler to the Live Environment.
Then just compile the source directly
Hi Jim,
while this is a bit off-topic: Turning a 32-bit Ubuntu into
a 64-bit one is tedious, so the recommended way is to just
install the new over the old and keep your home directory.
A few commands in the shell can help you to, more or less,
clone your old package selection into the new

How about using Dosemu2? When you add their PPA, you get
frequent updates. Unfortunately focused on 64-bit distros,
but performance is quite okay and it can map any Linux
directory to a DOS drive letter, so size is "unlimited".

Hi Jim
Thanks again. My problem is that I have assembler

That is a fair point. 20.x and onwards no longer support x86-32 hardware.
Debian still does, although support is being removed

Yes. This is
Hi Jim
Thanks again. My problem is that I have assembler source code from 40
years that occupies about 680Mb that needs to reside on one drive in
order to assemble. Then there are the application programs. All this
currently resides on an ancient XP machine. I have stayed with Lubuntu
18.04

Hi Jim
Thank you. I have few questions. What is the maximum size allowed for
the FreeDos image file? Can I resize my image file, currently 200Mb? Can
I create an additional virtual drive "D:" and mount it in the same way?
