Bryan Sparks at Lineo has given TRG an unlimited distribution license for DR-DOS which is what we will provide for the DOS loadable versions of MANOS freely from our website. Lineo also distributes free DR-DOS. At present, I am putting the MANOS debugger into Linux proper without DOS but ext2

Actually, the solution I think would be to use the MSDOS loader to boot linux. I will look at grabbing the ELF code in Linux and loading Linux from MSDOS -- if this can be accomplished you're there -- with an added benfit. When I am debugging MANOS, the source files and OS actually load from an
