Hi Marc,
VFD (Virtual Floppy Driver) is a good, non-Vista, method of
editing floppy disk images. It mounts the image file as
a lettered floppy drive and you can copy files, do drag and
drop, or whatever. Executing the SYS command is the only
challenge - you pretty much need a pre-made

Hi Enbor,
Hi, is there an easy way to make a custom FreeDOS bootable CD?
Actually it is not hard :-). You just copy all CD contents to a
directory on harddisk, then edit the contents, and run:
mkisofs -R -D -V FreeDOS 1.0b -o /tmp/fdbasecd-remastered.iso -b \
./isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
Hi Enbor:
One day, I wrote up a rather detailed set of instructions for doing
this and customizing it. The big difference is that I use a floppy
disk image to boot - it seems to work in more computers than the
hard disk image, Anyway, you can look at
Hi Eric:
Sorry, I misread it. That is my method as well - use ISOLINUX.

Hi Mark,
actually no FreeDOS distro has used harddisk images yet. The
mkisofs command shown below does not use any image at all.
Instead, it uses no emul boot to load isolinux, and this
then loads a compressed diskette image into a memdisk ramdisk
and boots it. Compared to using a classic
Hi,
I tried create booable FreeDOS CD according this howto. But booting
everytime ends with this error: Could not find ramdisk image:
odin1440.img.
But image file odin1440.img is present on CD.
Here is isolinux.cfg:
default FreeDOS
label FreeDOS
kernel memdisk
append initrd=odin1440.img

Good day, Basudeb:
It is easy to create a FreeDOS bootable CD from Windows.
See http://k1ea.com/hints/Creating_a_Bootable_DOS_CD_V%201.5.pdf
This uses the same technique (isolinux) as the FreeDOS installation
CD and has instructions for FreeDOS and MSDOS.
Hope this helps.
