Create bootable FAT file systems, mainly for USB disks.

This package provides translations for our packages. You don't want to install this
package on your system, it's only useful when you create openSUSE media.

SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates
off an MS-DOS or Windows FAT file system. It is intended to simplify
first-time installation of Linux and for creation of rescue and other
special purpose boot disks.

Checks installation CDs and DVDs for errors.

This package allows MS-DOS programs to be run in Linux. A virtual
machine (the DOS box) provides the necessary BIOS functions and
emulates most of the chip devices (for example: timer, interrupt, and
keyboard controller).

Documentation can be found in /usr/share/doc/packages/dosemu, the man
page, and in the sources.

Starting with version 1.0.2, DOSEMU configuration files are no longer
in /etc but in the user's HOME directory in ~/dosemu. DOSEMU no longer
has the SUID bit set, so if you need access to hardware that requires
root privileges, you must run DOSEMU as root.

If you rely on the old configuration scheme, you can get it back by
using dosemu.bin instead of dosemu (dos and xdos have been renamed to
dosemu and xdosemu).

The parameter $_hogthreshold in ~/dosemu/conf/dosemu.conf defines how
often an idling DOSEMU should return the CPU to Linux and its default
value (1) means "all power to Linux." The higher this value is, the
more CPU power is dedicated to DOSEMU. The value (0) disables this
feature completely, hence: "all power to DOSEMU." If that is not fast
enough, you (running as UID root) can get maximum performance with

nice -19 dos -D-a 2>/dev/null

Do not be surprised if other Linux processes then run very sluggishly.

On sensitive systems, you should never offer an suid-root DOSEMU as
world readable. Even if the '$_secure' option in dosemu.conf is set, it
is still possible that some DPMI clients (most likely Dos4gw based
ones) may succeed in accessing the whole user space (including DOSEMU
code) and thus gain root access. A comfortable solution is to have two
copies of the DOSEMU binary, a non-suid-root one for world access and a
suid-root one (protected by file permissions) only available to trusted
users.

Create a bootable mini-DOS system and add files to it. Useful if you
have to do firmware updates from DOS.

Tools to configure your bootloader graphics.

A simple program that lists results from the hardware detection
library.

Installation image files (boot and module disks, root image, and
suse/inst-sys directory).

Small x86 emulation library with focus of easy usage and extended
execution logging functions.

SUSE installation program.

Perl modules for configuring various boot loaders.
