I tried Fedora's LiveUSB-Creator, but after fixing checking MD5 sum it
reports: Unable to find LiveOS on ISO. In this case it was "fd11src.iso".
What's working is Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/). I am able to boot the
laptop but I cannot install FreeDOS because the installer recognizes the
harddisk as drive D: and the USB stick as drive C:.
First I tried to create drive C:
The USB stick is here drive C: with 2 Gigs, the harddisk has 500 MB:
I changed the primary DOS partition to D:
And set this drive to active:
But when I now try to install FreeDOS 1.1 to harddisk the installer chooses
drive C: the USB stick:
I cannot install to harddisk from USB stick with the current installer. Or
am I to stupid?
If I am right, maybe we can fix this in the next installer? Maybe with a
new entry in "isolinux.cfg"? Maybe it is possible to create an option in
the live mode, which is currently hidden, like this?

Experiment with FreeDOS without affecting your regular drives that hold one
or
more operating systems and user data.
