Good to know that it works for you (too). > I wanted to install some of the programs from > http://www.freedos.org/software/. Which ones in particular? Most are mirrored on iBiblio: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/ > In general I couldn't get this to work. Why not? What was the problem (or error)?

Sure, you can get "BASE" and "UTIL" and who knows what else ("EDIT", "NET"), but usually you don't need all that stuff. If you just want a bunch of stuff to play around with, then fine. I'm just saying, it's not really necessary to have ten text editors (for instance). Anyways, it's been a while since I've tried, but I'm pretty sure that RUFUS can use an .iso file. In fact, it still lists FreeDOS on its website under "Non exhaustive list of ISOs Rufus is known to work with". So try using RUFUS again but specifying the fd11src.iso file. Or you could use something like 7-Zip (GUI file manager or even cmdline "7z") to manually extract files from the .iso itself. But most of this stuff is already available separately on iBiblio in .ZIP form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
