I thought there already was a floppy-image download, but it would be used to 
install from a CD, especially for users with nonbootable CD.

But I would like an image that could be booted from grub4dos or grub2 and used 
for installing FreeDOS without burning to CD.

It would also be nice to be able to install or update FreeDOS from Linux or 
BSD.  Many FreeDOS users nowadays would not use FreeDOS as their only or 
primary OS.

If my message formatting is faulty, it might be because I am on a strange 
console, newcons in FreeBSD-current.

Regarding floppies, most of my 3.5" floppies were no longer writable though 
many were still readable.  My 5.25" floppies tended to do better.
