This has already (unofficially) been done. * https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/unofficial/metados/ But it still needs cleaning up (and some things haven't been properly vetted, e.g. Curl, which is not included by default). But it does have two packet drivers that work with (old and new) QEMU and VirtualBox. These are also used by the FDNET package, but Jim seems almost uninterested in that. N.B. Even Trisquel GNU/Linux has a "net install" (only 42 MB!) .ISO download. Perhaps trying or recommending such things from Linux would be wiser as a starting point since they have much better hardware (e.g. network) support. > On Sat, Nov 7, 2020 at 1:46 PM Chelson a <chelson.aitche...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Why not have a simple floppy that can install the system via internet > > connection? > > > > Base cd, extras cd and boot disk with internet install? > > > > > > > > On Sun, 8 Nov 2020 at 05:37, Mark Olesen <markjole...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > >> Why not have a minimal install iso.

Could the install handle that? _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
