FreeDOS Preinstalled Images Files

FreeDOS Preinstalled Image Files (For Larger than 2GB Hard drives and USB Drives)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FreeDOS created by James Hall (https://freedos.org)
Preinstalls created by N2KMaster (https://n2k.me)

These images contained in this project are for larger sized installs of Freedos. Each size contains both a VirtualBox image and a HDD/USB image file that contain both the "Plain DOS" and "Full Install" of FreeDOS 1.3.
None of the installers or files have been modified. Only the size of the hard drive space it uses was modified to reflect the desired USB or Hard Drive sizes.I noticed that the FreeDOS installer seems to cap hard drives at 2GB unless specifically specified by dropping out of the installer and running a bunch more commands. Sometimes to a new user, this can be kind of confusing, especially if they have no real prior knowledge of any sort of DOS based commands. This solves that by offering images in various sizes designed to be a common USB drive or a common sized hard drive taking advantage of the *entire hard drive.

* - Some space was leftover to make sure that the system hardware on the hard drive/usb stick itself has room to work.

These images are the direct results of using FDISK to resize the hard drive sizes to bypass the 2GB wall of the installer, and the installer itself has been run and finalized on the image resulting in a live version of the operating system if you choose to boot from USB, and it can be restored to an actual hard drive as well. You could also load the .img file from DOSBox and other DOS Emulators that allow an image boot.

The Virtualbox images themselves are a standard suggested 32MB ram with 7MB VboxVGA with SoundBlaster 16 installed and does use networking on single cpu. They include the OVA and VHD files. The USB and HDD images are in .IMG format and bootable.
