Hi Paul:
Well, the FreeDOS Beta9SR1 CD is set up to use ISOLINUX and
MEMDISK to boot a 360K floppy disk image called FDBOOT.IMG.
This floppy disk image contains a file called "FDCONFIG.SYS"
that sets up the initial menus and then invokes fdauto.bat.
What you want to do is to create a new bootable floppy disk
image (I usually use 1.44 MBytes) configured the way you want
it, including a CD driver, and create a new iso image that
boots that image. The key files are in the isolinux directory
on the CD: isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, makeiso.bat,
buildcd\mkisofs.exe, data\memdisk and the floppy disk image
in data\fdboot.img.
I use a neat free program called VFD (Virtual Floppy Driver) to
manipulate floppy disk images under WindowsXP, but you could
use a real floppy disk as well.
Is this enough information to get you started?
I'm sure Bernd will weigh in shortly...

A video game Live CD that automatically boots and then runs the game.
Something like KnoppixMame or AdvanceMame, but using FreeDOS instead of
Linux.
I've got it working (the game recompiled fine under DJGPP), but the
question I have is for the startup menu questions. I want users to just
jump directly into the game, and not have to choose to run FreeDos from
the CD or install it into their hard drive (ie: always running it on the
CD).
How would I go about chaning this?
