I do (BTW, I have 2 CPU cores ... located in 2 PC's located

Sure. But not today. Expect mail on this subject
somewhere in the second half of this century!

Better idea: reduce bloat by factor 2, 3, 4 or 6 ...
and the best: 1 CORE is enough :-)

So can I. In DOS and without Mencoder or any unnecessary bloat :-)

Right. Same for NTSC (tested).

Right :-( How to fix those ? Will they be fixed in FreeDOS 2.0 ?

I take the freedom to agree with you here ... keep
them separate, no need for DOG-EMU.

The isolinux.bin is identical, but patched/updated whenever creating a 
bootCD.

License stuff. MKISOFS/CDRECORD using CDDL after having used GPL for a 
while, CDRKIT/GenIsoImage using GPL2.
Both are available for DOS as well:

yep required CD drivers for the interface your CD-drive is on. I wonder 
if booting Win98 CD works on USB CD-drives, doubt it, as it uses an 
ATAPI driver. (ELTORITO.SYS cd-driver works also for USB CD booted in 
no-emulation mode..unless loading your own USB stack).
Also by default the floppy part is read-only, which means whenever 
accessing it, the CD has to be in the drive.

> Eric (I hope this was all correct :-))

pretty much yes. An emulator with working floppy(-image) which can be 
easily altered, is easiest. Then when done, use the floppy image for 
bootcd. Personally I'd prefer an as-small-as-possible boot image which 
loads the required drivers before accessing CD.
Reason is some computers make USB storage boot up at 1.1-speeds, 
effectively limiting read spead to single-speed CD-ROM.
