| | FreeDOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If FreeDOS is started from a DOSEmu (PC/DOS emulator for Linux systems) window it is possible to install DOS applications on any Linux supported file system and hard disk. | | | As a result of a license agreement with Microsoft, which obliged computer manufacturers not to ship computers without operating systems, Dell Computer offered some of their n-series systems with pre-installed FreeDOS. | | | FreeDOS also contains an UDMA driver for faster disk access, which can be used for other DOS versions, too. |

| | FreeDOS will run on all levels of PC's, from as low as an XT with 640k memory. | | | FreeDOS should run fine in only 512K, (as a matter of fact it should at least boot given only 192K)- you will just have not as much memory to run programs. | | | You will probably have to try the old Beta8 distribution as it's the only one which is entirely on floppy disk sets, although you might consider stealing a few programs from Beta9rc4. |

| | FreeDOS is an Internet-based collaborative project to create a completely free MS-DOS- compatible operating system, patterned loosely after the GNU project for UNIX and using the GNU "Copyleft." Pat Villani has donated the DOS-C kernel to the FreeDOS project and it forms the core of the FreeDOS distribution. | | | More information and source code for FreeDOS components can be found on the FreeDOS web site: http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/freedos.html. | | | In a sense, DOS-C is (as the book's cover states) an MS-DOS "emulator," although the kernel and applications are running as native code and not under the supervision of any other program. |
