I understand => that work is well-underway with this and NetBSD. However, what is the => status? Unless someone else is doing this, I am currently doing DOSEMU under 386BSD 0.1 not NetBSD. => Will there be any support for MS-Windows? At the very best it would be real mode only as you are really running on a 8086. A better way to go with Windoze would be to use WINE from Linux which is under development, WINE is a free version of WABI which means that you can run windows applications under X without the need to have ms-windows running. -- Brett Lymn
