Screenshot; Portion of the OSX terminal window displaying a Freedos C prompt running inside a QEMU virtual machine running inside a docker image. Think turducken (or nesting dolls) but with virtualized OS instances instead.

   Up to the point where I obtain the #Freedos 1.3 USB image and use guestfish to swap out FDAUTO.BAT, bringing the #reedos system right to the C:\> prompt.

   Getting to this point takes ~2GB of dependencies and because of virtualization, I need to cheat a bit on the docker image creation and rely on the host kernel image release version being available as a linux-image package in Ubuntu. This means that the produced docker image is less portable but there's not a great way around it.
