A wierd (very) idea just came to me... While running the DOS emulation it may be possible to run the OS-BS installation -- if so, it may work with the FreeDOS clone, or perhaps Caldera would allow DR-DOS 7 to be shipped with FreeBSD. (Perhaps free or at a nominal cost?) Does this sound reasonable to consider investigating. The main problem with the PC emulation is it requires X11 working which won't fit with the current installation software. It would be quite interesting if we could ship the same (actually newer) dos with FreeBSD that ships with UnixWare! Any new info on dos emulation in Version 3.x -- I'm still on -STABLE.
