Rugxulo mentioned that Reactos is available in a Qemu environment for
Windows. This got me to setup such a Qemu environment for MetaDOS and my
XFDOS as well. You can download it here:

I will use later versions of Qemu in the next release. However, I would like
to use binaries that use SDL instead of GTK because I think these require
less disk space.
Qemu is faster than Bochs if you run it on the processor it is currently
"emulating". It will then use the real processor to so
DOS4WIN64 is not intended to run on old PCs. I just try to keep packages
small to allow for fast downloads and fast program loads.
There is a lot of DOS software that will not run on Windows 7 or 8 in 64bit
mode. To allow DOS applications to be used on these systems they can be
bundled with DOS
I got my brand new Samsung Tablet about three months ago. I bought a small
USB hub and connected a mouse, flash disk and keyboard to that and could use
them all with my XFDOS distro.
But frankly I rather use my desktop PC instead.

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

Yes you could setup Nanolinux that way. I cannot estimate the footprint at
the moment but it could be less than 14 MB.
I will see if I can come up with such a version.

it depends how you write the ISO file to the CD. I am not familiar with the

Windows explorer it is not written correctly. The files on a bootab

Once you

You may also use FLTK instead of OpenGEM for the Desktop environment.
FLTK is currently maintained and supported well. Plus you can use Truetype
fonts.
