I agree with Jim:
VMware is better for some things: it is more compatible and AFAIK
*everything* works, but:
1) graphic screen in DOS is slow
2) C: is an image
3) other drives can only be networked
Dosemu has advantages:
1) Graphics are very fast in DOS (it ises a different approach to the

Hi,
I have XOSL 1.x installed, to switch between FreeDOS, Dr-DOS and
WinXP. Now I found XOSL2... http://sourceforge.net/projects/xosl2
Has everyone tried it? I will ;-)
XOSL2 can be use also from none-writeable medias, like CD, DVD. Last
beta is avaiable from this year!

I appreciate this reply most of all! If Linus Torvalds had given up after
trying to get his first operating system kernel going, where would we all
be? lol
I've written several compilers, designed and built an operating system for a
military computer, maintained real-time operating system
When I wrote about my problems with FreeDos under Virtual PC on my Power
PC MAC - the problem being that I cannot figure out how to get Freedos
to recognize the USB floppy drive - several of you berated me for using
Virtual PC because it is an M$ product and told me to go look at
VMWare and other
Wow. I'm always amazed at how people can get so worked up over their
favorite this-or-that, and call people a "fool" for using something
else that they prefer. But you are not foolish if you prefer Virtual
PC - it's a tool, not a religion. I use VMWare for some things,
DOSEmu for others. I use
This is a test to see if I'm still getting messages from our friend in
SobyLand. I've been reluctant to post since getting several private emails
berating me for using Microsoft Virtual PC, telling me what a fool I am for
daring to dream of building my own operating system, telling me my chances
On my system (Dell laptop with 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB memory, Fedora Core 6)
it takes less than a second after I type "xdosemu" for XDOSEmu to boot
FreeDOS and bring up a C:\> prompt. And since I'm running DOS from
inside Linux, there's no dual-booting involved.
But, it's a matter of personal choice.

If I run freedos from dosemu I lose the boot speed.That's one reason I dual
boot because freedos boots fast. That and because I don't have to manually
mount drives.
I only have 75mb left on the dos partition ,so I don't want to install a
compiler.Besides I keep all my development stuff in linu

Could you give me a little more detail please.
I want to cross compile a program in linux to run on freedos.
I have slackwareware 11 installed dual boot with freedos.
Can I get gcc 3.4.6 to compile a binary to run on freedos?
If so could you you tell me how?
thanks

Since you run Linux, consider DOSEmu to boot FreeDOS. I do this on my
system. It allows me to do most/all my development activities on
Linux, but do the final compile under FreeDOS. The default on DOSEmu
is _not_ to use a drive image, so it just reads/writes in your Linux
$HOME. My DOSEmu C: dr
Yes, DJGPP is a good idea. But you should use 2.04pre and shouldn't
try 2.02. You can use the same GCC compiler as in Linux. Last one is
4.1.x which is ported to DOS. You should ask in the DJGPP
newsgroup/mailing list.
There are also some libraries for DJGPP which are useable in DOS and
Linux (f.e
