Re: [Freedos-user] How can make a bootCD
Hi Juan: One way to get a bootable CD is to use a combination of isolinux and memdisk to boot a floppy disk image. I BELIEVE that this is the method most compatible with different computer BIOS's. What I do is boot the floppy disk image (1.44 MBytes typically) and, if I need more storage, configure a CDROM driver to access other files on the floppy disk. I wrote some notes on how I create bootable DOS CD's from Windows XP. This can be done without a floppy drive using free tools. If you are interested, see http://k1ea.com/hints/Creating_a_Bootable_DOS_CD_V%201.5.pdf I know of several people who have successfully created FreeDOS and MSDOS bootable CD's using this writeup. If you have any questions, let me know.
