linuxgeek: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Linux distros using LOADLIN.EXE within DOS

Sorry, folks. The link to BasicLinux 3.5 in the text which follows was incorrect.
It should be: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/ .

Thanks, and have fun bringing your 486's back to life!
Cheers,
-Martin.

Hello All:

I have been preoccupied with the thankless (haha) task of creating a new

freeware DOS distro for some time, and my project is nearing completion.

(You can visit http://www.freewebz.com/martinwarren/dosprograms.htm

<http://www.freewebz.com/martinwarren/dosprograms.htm> for a slice of

what to expect.) Anyway, included in my DOS distro will be 2 varieties

of Linux that run WITHIN DOS using LOADLIN.EXE . These will be

BasicLinux 3.5

<http://freewebs.websnapr.com/?size=s&key=key&url=distro.ibiblio.org/pub\

/linux/distributions/baslinux/> and Pygmy Linux

<http://www.ipt.ntnu.no/~knutb/linux486/download/pygmy/index.html> .

Anyone with any ideas resulting from their experiences with these

distros are invited to discuss them!

Cheers,

-Martin.
