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). Aitor On 20 November 2015 at 20:51, Jim Hall

elow. The size of Nanolinux plus Dosemu will not be much different to a distro made with buildroot. And uClibc will make porting additional Linux applications and drivers to the distro more difficult. Georg > Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:55:24 -0200 > From: Geraldo Netto <geraldone...@gmail.

Hi All, Well, Maybe we could use buildroot [1] to create such minimalist distro Buildroot is very flexible and allows to embed X Last time i played with it, i was able to create a distro in ~14MB (squashfs) with python and X I know that squashfs is not feasible for older machines, but we can tune

Hi, I made a very small Linux distro called Nanolinux which is only 14 MB in size: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nanolinux/ I could add Virtualbox to that and then you would get a bootable ISO with about 50 to 70 MB in size that would run your DosemuLimpo (Although I did not manage to

Hi, (top posting because the answer is global) That is exactly what I did... A Linux distro with Lxde that runs Dosemu+FreeDOS It has only basic utilities: File manager, Basic Editor and few configuration utilities, it could be made a bit smaller... I chose Lxde over Xfce because it is being
