A floppy disk image which will boot up a machine, connect to a network share and begin a windows install. Included are network card drivers for Qemu and VMware
Configuration is stored as variables in CONFIG.SYS
This is the first release, with the eventual plan to add move drivers and produce an El-Torito standard bootable CDRom. Once a CDRom version has been produced, the plan is to move the disk to use FreeDOS.
Requirements
The requirements are extremely minimal, but could be roughly considered to be:
- 4MB Memory
- 3.5″ Floppy drive
- BIOS capable of booting from a floppy drive
At present, there are two bundled network card drivers, one for Qemu and another for VMware. These cn easily be added to or replaced.
License
In all honnesty, I have no idea what license this is under. It’s probably something like the following:
- Microsoft components are under whatever license Windows 98SE is licensed under
- Various components are under whatever license FreeDOS is under (GPL?)
- My work on getting a functional DOS network disk is licensed under the GPL v2.0
If anyone out there wants to advise me on this, do not hesitate to contact me.
