One thing I'd like to see in the next FreeDOS is a better installer.

Installer should be writable to a USB stick or be bootable and runnable from a 
disk image; there is a rather outdated FreeDOS runnable quasi-floppy image on 
the System Rescue CD, though this image has no installer.

I would like to see an installer (not necessarily bootable) that could run from 
Linux or FreeBSD, since many computer users these days have no DOS system, and 
running from Linux or FreeBSD would give the user more control than booting 
FreeDOS and not knowing which partition or disk is which.

I have big hard drives, 3 TB or bigger, partitioned GPT, so the only place I 
could install FreeDOS to is a USB stick.

Even on a modern system, FreeDOS can be useful for hardware diagnostic tools or 
BIOS/UEFI flash update.
