Dossetup.Ini — Editing

  • 0

Am trying to create a bootable DOS installation CD, using my 3 legal M$ 3-1/2″ floppies. It appears that the DOSSETUP.INI file needs to be edited, to bypass its demand to swap out floppies during the installation process. A listing of the before & after of that file edit would be appreciated, along with a suggestion of which editor to use. If other edits/mods are required, please advise.
I want to do this to both archive DOS and to prepare a CD to be used to install DOS as a virtual machine in VirtualBox — am new to VBox and can’t figure out how to get it to “see” the floppy drive.

    It might get you started. A lot of people have asked about installing dos from cd but I couldn’t find anyone that said they’d done it and how. Be the first and riches no doubt will follow!
