https://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/Main_Page How do I install FreeDOS? FreeDOS for everyone: "We recommend using a PC emulator or virtual machine to install FreeDOS. If you don't want to install, you can boot the LiveCD to try it out."
And What do I need to run FreeDOS? "If you are new to DOS, we recommend you use a PC emulator or Virtual machine such as VirtualBox to install and boot FreeDOS. You can find PC emulators for all computer platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac.)" Again, on the FreeDOS wiki page concerning installing FreeDOS, vague instructions, "We recommend using a PC emulator or virtual machine to install FreeDOS.", with the subsequent emulator and virtual machine links leading to blank pages. Based on Jim Hall's FreeDOS book, I suggest adding his apparently preferred virtual machine qemu here, so users are not left hanging researching multiple DOS emulators/virtual machines. I think the respective links for emulators and virtual machines on the FreeDOS Wiki page were likely suppose to contain the data I recently wrote about within the past Emails, concerning DOSEMU/DOSEMU2, Qemu, and Bochs. As well as including Qemu incantations for running on Linux and other O/S. However, obviously documenting all possible incantations for every O/S becomes overwhelming! The FreeDOS wiki oddly negates mentioning Qemu, referencing only VirtualBox instead. Shrugs... no big deal, just probably an area needing clarification for others! Roger
