>From Ben Hutchinson <[email protected]> By minimal, I mean that the boot sector program, and the kernel (kernel.sys), don't do any displaying of text. All they need to do is set up the DOS interrupt vectors (so that they behave correctly just as with MS-DOS), and then load and execute the first file, command.com. No displaying text at all. The screen should remain blank until something in command.com causes text or graphics to display. Such an absolute minimal version of FreeDOS would be useful for me, because it would allow me to write my own program in assembly language, call it command.com, and then copy that file to the disk, and use it to boot another computer directly into the software I've written. This minimal version of FreeDOS would be just a boot-loader for my own OS-level software, a launch-point for my application (my application existing in place of an OS, rather than being run from an OS), that would then run upon booting.
