I've got an unusual issue that I've been trying to solve for several
days but have had no luck.
Running FreeDOS in a QEMU-based VM, on a Xen hypervisor (it's actually
the Qubes OS)
I managed to get it all installed and it runs well except for one
problem: Screen refresh is too slow, even
would create his own custom bit-by-bit as he
decided to try something not included in the basic. He could DL the
extras ISO, or get what he wanted from the archive as he wanted it.
I predict that many would not go beyond the basic, and DL of extras
would be spread
o what you call "basic" would be one ISO. Then a blivet ISO of
anything you want to put on it, but no sources or programming apps. Take
a survey. How many want to make or modify DOS apps.
Sources and whatever else is left is archive. With an index/contents
included on
be useful someday - including a two pound, still skin-packed,
package to connect DOS to a 3270.
I need the shelf space. Does this stuff have any use to anyone?
