NOOBS needs more OSes

[oryxhasapi]

Or a script that can auto detect other OSes(OSes that are not in the standard NOOBS image) that are on the sd card(puppy,kali pi port,ETC,ETC).

AFAIK it's up to 3rd parties to provide images. Only Raspbian is included in Noobs, others can be downloaded on demand when connected through (wired) ethernet

TBH I find it just as easy to install individual images.
While Noobs may be helpful, it also introduces potential hurdles and problems later on.

I know that somebody start a petition to get DOS ported to the pi

You can add other OSes to NOOBS yourself: https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs

Or you are fee to roll your own NOOBS variant

i like how many views this has but still pi zero replys

Well if you just post about subjects which have been well covered and regurgited, it is not surprising the Volunteer Responders may not feel it is worth responding.

Research, Research, Research should happen prior to posting

Not required you can use DOSBOX

[oryxhasapi]

There should be a NOOBS sub forum

[ShiftPlusOne]

Yup, it's up to the distro maintainers to get in touch and then prepare the releases.

No, because a lot of people would put all kinds of stuff in there that have nothing to do with NOOBS.
Mods would have to move even more topics to the correct section then they do now.

If you had researched you would have found that years ago an ARM Port of FreeDOS was compiled and abandoned, but he-ho it is easier to post crap comments...

sorry maybe someone can find the source code for the port and reboot it?

Why don't you try to find it yourself?

Why do expect everyone else to undertake the work, the RPi ethos is all about Learning and Education, so do it yourself

My PiHut one arrived on Tuesday. It was ordered before 7:30AM on Monday though, I just took the standard shipping £2.50.

[oryxhasapi]

still not arrived
hopefully it will come tomorrow

[GTR2Fan]

still not arrived

Additional NOOBS OSes don't just appear on demand. You'll have to add them yourself.

Order confirmation at 7:09, shipped 10:32. Normally I would expect it to take 1 or 2 days, but in this case the Mail must have used a slower mode of transport
