Load into Dosbox-x automatically

Any one have or can help with custom version of TCL?

I'd like to have an older machine load into Dosbox-x Full screen automatically , without touching the machine other than powering it on.

I would install this onto a hard drive, don't believe this machine can even boot from USB. It can however boot from CD.

I understand there is other options such as freedos etc..
I also plan on using win 3.x on this machine, it has no Isa slots I think this the best and cheapest option.

Hi zacmario
Install  Dosbox  from the repository  onboot.  Run  dosbox  and then exit. There should now be a file called:

--- Code: ---.dosbox/dosbox-VERSION.conf
--- End code ---
in your  home  directory. Set the  fullscreen  variable to  true.

Create a file called  StartDosbox  in your  .X.d  directory with the following line:

--- Code: ---dosbox &
--- End code ---

Oh wow, that's so easy. Thank you. I apologize if I selected the wrong forum btw.

zacmario:
Shoot just realized the machine is not wireless and I've misplaced my Lan cable.
Can I just download the tcz on another computer and it put in the iso file and than install it from there?

Rich:
Hi zacmario
Yes, you can download on another machine. If you have Tinycore installed to your hard drive, you can download
to a USB drive and then copy to your hard drive. You will need to download:
dosbox.tcz
dosbox.tcz.dep
dosbox.tcz.md5.txt
Then you will need to do the same for its dependencies. The easiest way to find out all of the dependencies is to look in:
dosbox.tcz.tree
