Hi Lyn,
Let me first state that everything I'm about to say may depend upon
which model of Acer Aspire One you have. They had different models and
even the hardware within one model varied over the years they were
produced... so... your mileage may vary.
On my Apsire I found that once I booted it up I could not plug a USB
stick into the machine and have FreeDOS recognize. But... if I plugged
the USB stick containing the bonus disk into the machine _before_
powering it on, then the BIOS would recognize it and make it available
to FreeDOS as drive D: and had no problem.
Unfortunately, I could not make the networking work on my model, so I
gave up on that piece of hardware after that and threw it back onto the
"pile of old laptops".
Hope that helps,
McC

Hi all
Having not played around with FreeDOS for several years I have decided
to try to install on an Aspire One. Having managed the install via
the boot disk and then via the full install disk (via a usb drive) I
am then stuck adding additional programs as I can only use a usb
drive - no optical drive or floppy. I can use a boot disk, as from
the repository, to add some files - but its limited in size. As once
the FreeDOS is installed the USB is not recognised. Ideally Id like
to add programs from the bonus disk.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
