I want to develop freedos programs in linux ,since I already have all my
development stuff there.I don't know whether to ask in a linux forum of
freedos.I found instructions for building a cross compiler here.

But the instructions are
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
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:
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

Can I cut text from a linux document and paste it into the

If I can how do I paste it into the window?

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.

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

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
