Boot Disk Create CDROM
You will need a special program in order to burn an ISO file.

DO NOT BURN SUCH FILES AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHERS! ISO Files must be burned with an ISO burner such as WinImage in order to function properly. Documentation for the use of WinImage can be found within the program.

For Unix/Linux Users

Mount a FreeDOS iso file using the loop filesystem.

  1. mount -o loop fdfullws.iso /mnt/misc

Create a folder for copying the fdfullws.iso contents into.

  1. mkdir ./fdfullws

Copy the contents of the FreeDOS image file into your own folder

  1. cp -ax /mnt/misc/* ./fdfullws/

Use mkisofs to create a bootable iso file.

  1. mkisofs -R -D -V "FreeDOS 1.0" -o freedos.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table ./fdfullws/

Then use your favorite cd burning application for burning the iso file.

(*Edit Me: I'm not sure if "-R -D" are the proper switches, but mkisofs recommended them!)

For DOS Users (Please Edit Me!)

For Windows Users (If you must, edit me as well!)
