I generally keep the ,iso file attached the virtual machine in case I want to install something. iso file if you want to install applications via the FreeDOS package manager. Note: Typically, after you install an operating system on VirtualBox you can delete the original. (It should say “Empty” next to it.) In the “Attributes” panel on the right, click on the CD icon and select the location of the. Under “Storage Devices”, select the CD icon. You can do this by either right-clicking on the virtual machine and selecting “Settings” or highlight the virtual machine and click the “Settings” button. Select your virtual machine and open the settings. Once the file has been downloaded, return to VirtualBox. You will need to choose the CDROM “standard” installer. iso fileīefore we continue, you will need to download the FreeDOS. Once you make your adjustments, click Create, Step 4 – Attach. Remember most of the programs you will be using will be text-based, thus fairly small. Now, you can choose the size and location of the vhd. (Keep in mind that while the size of a dynamically allocated vhd increases as you add files, it will not drop when you remove files.) I prefer dynamically allocated, but you can choose the option that serves your needs best and click “Next”. Dynamically allocated is nice if you don’t plan to use the whole vhd or if you don’t have very much free space on your hard drive. If you prefer that the virtual hard drive (vhd) is created at full size, then choose fixed size.

Do you want it to start small and gradually grow to its full size as you create files and install programs? Then choose dynamically allocated.

The next question you will encounter is how you want the virtual disk to act. This default (VirtualBox Disk Image) works just fine. The next dialog box will ask you what hard disk file type you want to use.

Since you haven’t created one yet, just click “Create”. Next, you will be asked to create a virtual hard drive where FreeDOS and its files will be stored. If you need to, you can increase it later by right-clicking on the virtual machine you created for FreeDOS and selecting Settings -> System. Back in the day, this would be a huge amount of RAM for a DOS machine. The next dialog box will ask you how much of the host computer’s memory you want to make available to FreeDOS. You also need to select the type and version of the operating system you will be installing. You can use the label to specify what version of FreeDOS you are installing. You can name it whatever you want, I just use “FreeDOS”. Once you open VirtualBox, press the “New” button to create a new virtual machine. virtualboxis modified for linux-lts and virtualbox-current is for linux-current. Solus gives you the option to use the linux-lts kernel and the linux-current kernel. One thing you should keep in mind is that Solus’ Software Center contains two versions of VirtualBox: virtualbox and virtualbox-current. Note: I used Solus as the host operating system for this tutorial because it is very easy to setup. Please note: I will be using VirtualBox 5.2.14 on Solus.

Today, I’m going to tell you how to install and use FreeDOS. In November of 2017, I interviewed Jim Hall about the history behind the FreeDOS project.
