Hello,
I have dosbox installed. I downloaded a version of freedos.
My question is how do I install freedos. I want to have freedos bootable, I made a bootable floppy using the unix dd command. I then just copied the contents of the floppy to a directory on my computer, I am running Mac os x.
My question is if I just change into my freedos directory, from within dosbox. Does that mean I am running freedos.
I wanted to have freedos as an operating system. Like I could boot into it. For example I would like the autoexec.bat file to automatically run when I go into my freedos directory.
I have read the guides on like iso and img files. I originally downloaded a freedos .img file. And like I said I used my unix terminal and the dd command to make a floppy.
I use to have ms-dos running on a Mac se as a Dogrib emulator program. I still have the computer but it won't boot, that's another story. I guess my question is if I put the floppy I made into the a drive of my old computer, I think it would boot to the floppy. I want to boot to a folder on my computer and have it as a operating system.
Any help would be appreciated.
