China DOS Union

As the title.

The version of grub.exe is grub4dos-0.4.3-2007-08-27

Thanks in advance.

Because it needs to be put into a standard 2.88M Floppy Image, updating the old GRUB.EXE, there is not enough space.

Compressed with UPX, it is still over 98K, which is a bit large.

If the space is not enough, just increase the volume of the IMG file.

It seems that only this way can be dealt with...

Non-standard IMG files are prone to errors when copying files. Especially when copying Ghost 11 which is over 1MB.

　　Your IMG should contain many files. Why do you have to compress it with GRUB4DOS? If you do compress it, why be so aggressive? You don't compress the large Ghost 11, but pick on a small one. Hmm! Not worthy of a hero!

There should be quite a few files in your IMG. Why do you have to compress GRUB4DOS? If you have to compress, why be so aggressive? You don't compress the big guy Ghost11, but you have to pick on the small one. Hmph! That's not the act of a true man!

It seems you are a "master".
Please tell me how to compress GHOST?

;)

Ashamed! "Expert" is really not worthy of that title. I have no grudge against GHOST, and I never thought of oppressing it. It's no easy task for me to compress GHOST. Just do your best!

memdisk supports a 3840K floppy disk image (I forgot the C, H, S). This image can be used to make a bootable CD, so you might as well give it a try.

Forget it. It seems no one will help me fulfill my wish. I have to clean up the image files and free up some space.

I don't really like using non-standard ones.

Sorry! I made a mistake. The bootable CD made from the floppy disk image of 3840K (C=80 H=2 S=48) cannot boot. However, you can enter GRUB4DOS and use map or memdisk to boot this image (no need to specify CHS parameters). So what if it's not standard? As long as it works! I'm using it very happily!

Yeah, that's right. As long as it works, I'll support it as long as it's useful
