Directory handling works exactly the same while the DOSBox emulator needs to map host OS files to guest "OS" files (but you can automate frequent mounting in the dosbox-0.7.3.conf file under [autoexec]). The bare minimum files you really need for FreeDOS are the shell (command.com, FreeCom) and kernel (kernel.sys, replaces io.sys and msdos.sys). Of course, for the game you also need cwsdpmi.exe, and you may also want himemx.exe and jemm386.exe. http://www.freedos.org/software/?cat=3Dbase To install to a partition, you need fdisk, create (or resize) a (reasonably-sized) FAT, reboot, "format c:", run "sys a: c:" (optionally with "/BOOTONLY"), and then copy whatever else you need (display, ega*.cpx, keyb, ctmouse, edit, attrib, find, more, fc). N.B. If you really really want, I'll upload a simple floppy disk image (w/ srcs) for you. This will be easier for QEMU, VirtualBox, etc. (or even real floppy) instead of having to muck around with hard disk partitions. > I suppose I'll be able to run RHIDE with FreeDOS and find the bugs from t= he error windows, that > highlights the code line where they occurs Yes. Unlike Windows, RHIDE does actually work in DOS! (Of course, it's abandoned, but hey, at least it still works somewhere.)
