Hi, On Feb 6, 1:18=A0pm, "Matthew Petricone" <strstr DOT DOT DOT AT gmail DOT com> wrote: > > It's probably not what you are used to.

(but never tested) that MS "NET USE" or "NET SHARE" or whatever gobbledegook might work under VirtualBox, but I have no idea how. EDIT: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3D30&t=3D33357 > I think the easiest way is > to make a ISO of the data you want, and mount that under virtual box as a > CD, then copy it to your VHD. > > Hope that helped, > Matt DOSEMU on Linux would be easier (in theory). However, in the interest of facilitating this line of thinking (though again I haven't tried it lately), you can get a DJGPP build of MKISOFS.EXE from here: http://alexfru.narod.ru/os/fat/fat.html And here's a rough example of its use (hopefully self-explanatory): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= --- I used the new MKISOFS command line suggested in our Wiki: mkisofs -R -D -V "FreeDOS 1.0" -o ~/fdbasecd-remastered.iso \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot \ -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /tmp/fdbasecd-contents/ ...to make an ISO of fdbasecd of FreeDOS 1.0 which now does boot on my PC. The previous version just got stuck when it tried to load ISOLINUX. Which was, uhm, not so convenient. Eric PS: The isolinux/isolinux.bin file in my tmp directory had to be writeable to make the "remastering" work, so I had to make a real tmp copy of the old cd, not just mount it... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---
