DOS ain't dead

Linux starting from DOS (Users)

posted by ron  , Australia, 28.02.2011, 20:59

I boot several Linux distros from DOS.
BasicLinux is one of them. Can be installed to its own partition or run in "loop" (RAM).

see: http://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/

I also run Slackware 7 & 9, and an old Peanut Linux (now called Alinux) from the same DOS boot.
All use loadlin in a batch file, and come up as choices on the DOS startup MENU I wrote at the top of config.sys.
