How To Install Windows From Freedos
Can I Install Windows On Freedos

Hi,
I just found out that Windows 3.11 runs on FreeDOS 1.0 (FreeCom 0.84-
pre2) if you add InDOSPolling=true to [386Enh] in system.ini and if
you run SYSTEMDOSX.EXE to start Windows instead of WIN.COM. That is
so cool!
Does anyone know why it works and why WIN.COM prints a message about
it being an invalid MS-DOS version? Apparantly FreeDOS is able to fool
WIN.COM, but win.com starts WIN386.EXE normally and that is the
program that prints the MS-DOS version bad message.
The only catch is you can not run a DOS prompt from within Windows--
prints an error about not being able to find WINOLDAP.MOD.
I am thinking of modifying FreeDOS to make it more compatible with
Windows 3.11. I think DOSX.EXE stats Windows 3.11 in Standard Mode.
Yes, I know that's impossible, I just did it though. Maybe I'm
wrong..
I wrote my own disassembler (GPL) you can check out here:
http://code.google.com/p/vm64dec/downloads/list -- it dosn't run in
DOS or anything but could help identify what changes to FreeDOS are
needed to make Windows 3.11 run via WIN.COM, e.g. WIN386.EXE, so we
can run Command Prompts form Windows.
I'm armed with my own disassembler and BOCHS, which I can modify to
follow indirect jumps/calls etc. Is anyone else out there interested
in seeing Windows 3.11 run in Enhanced mode with MS-DOS Prompt support
on FreeDOS ?

Windows 3.1 is VERY compact (being released in the early 90s) and only requires around 8 MB of disk space. However, if you want your users to install/run any programs, we recommend at least 50 MB of space. Windows 3.1 requires at least MS-DOS 3.1, we recommend MS-DOS 6.22 for best performance however.

To change the floppy disks, press CTRL + ALT + 2 to switch to the QEMU console, and type 'change floppy0 (DOS Floppy Disk 2).img' and so on. Press CTRL + ALT + 1 to switch back.
