The MajorBBS will have plenty of games installed, live teleconference (well a chat room, and will be able to have Trivia, Dice rolling, etc), forums, etc. while it supports download sections as well, I'm not sure if that will be populated/enabled at this time. Once it's configured for outside accessibility (telnet/dialup), I could see more of them being populated. One thing I was thinking was that there is a (device/software app?) that makes a telnet connection limited to "Modem" speeds. Not sure if that's something I would implement, but am considering it, to keep the "Feel" of dialup BBSing. Also, I'm looking for someone who may be interested in becoming a co-sysop for the BBS. While experience with MajorBBS isn't required, it would be helpful. I've never been good with ASCII art/menu design, so if you are interested in assisting, email me off the list.

Good point. I have a $20 Gotek that would probably do the job

FreeDOS.
I also recommend keeping a cheap floppy emulator (via SD card) around just for boot-strapping systems.

Anyone know of a DOS 6.22 image that installs from a CDROM?
This would obviously boot into something else, like linux, and then install DOS.
Otherwise, it's a real pagent for me to make dos diskettes and install them to this pizza box. Right now is't booting WinXP, but has a password on it that
I
don't know, so to use the WinXP install to make floppies, I'd have to use a Linux password fixer disk first. Or install linux on the thing, and use *that* to make floppies. Stupid, right?
Thanks, Bill Dudley

Thank you Jameel and Degnan. Sounds like Bill Dudley's system is the best choice for us.
