LOADLIN, loads Linux with command line from DOS

Version:

1.5

Entered-date:

05SEP94

Description:

This is a BOOTLIN-like program that runs under MSDOS. It can boot Linux from a DOS prompt or CONFIG.SYS, and fully supports the command line feature of the Linux kernel. It's very useful in conjunction with precompiled kernel images because boot configuration can be done without recompilation. Also works in virtual-86 mode (VCPI needed). Supports UMSDOS. Built-in test option (-t) to isolate most problems, with DOS configuration and/or Linux boot parameters verbose output. LOADLIN-1.5 now runs out of the box, no configuration needed. Linux > 0.99.14 (better >= 1.0.5, much better >1.1.47) MSDOS (or compatible operating system)
