Hi all,
does anybody know a good DOS boot CD? or a bootable USB stick?
I'd like to see an optimally configured DOS (hey, which one?), with NTFS
support, Long Filename support, international keyboard support, perhaps
4DOS as CLI, hyperdisk, drivers for CD, mouse(?), LAN and Internet
support (though not all necessarily at the same time: a boot menu
selection might be necessary, and a memory manager like QEMM and a
taskswitcher like Deskview might be handy. And of course USB drivers for
the USB stick and whatever I may have missed.
Utilities like an editor, virus scanner, partition editor and whatever
comes to mind as nice to have on a DOS bootable CD / USB stick.
If there isn't such an animal, should one create one? Would it be useful
e.g. as a rescue cd for Windows95/98? XP?
Would it be useful as a small useful toolkit to take with you? What
should go in, what should be kept out?
Please feel free to make suggestions. If anything comes from this
(hopefully following) discussion, I'd like to put up the resulting
ultimate :-) DOS boot CD and/or USB ISO file on my site (see sig).
