Sorry to bother you, but i want to use your genious memdisk feture, but i am not able to create a hdimage that is compatible with memdisk (see ML postings). I am not a Linux newbie, i maintain a project at [1], so i cannot be too stupid in making the image. I really tried it for some weeks to create such an image, i am not able to get a working image. It would be nice if you can send me a step by s...

How does one make a HD image? Floppy images are easy enough, but to have to create a hdimage, you need MBR and partitions, etc... I want to create a 10MB DOS HD and boot it, how would I do this with Linux? Thanks.

While we have had to (temporarily, I hope) compromise and use a licensed copy of DOS 6.22 to run it with dosemu, it runs perfectly on dosemu. Instead of usind a hdimage of freedos, which will not run the program, one creates a dir, /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir, and fills it with command.com, io.sys, msdos.sys, \mouse\mouse.com, whatever other command files you wish, pop in a simple autoexec.bat to set path, and load mouse driver, and config.sys. You can even put s...
