Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS USB installation
Some options: a) installing just means creating MBR, creating bootsector, copying system files plus copying some applicaitons, there is no force to use an installer, you can do this copying steps yourself b) you can boot grub4dos from USB and emulate then the freedos installer iso and install to internal harddisk from there -mr Braden C.

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS USB installation
Will the EEEpc boot from a USB flash drive? If so, install FreeDOS on the USB flash from another computer, boot it on the EEEpc, and install FreeDOS normally on the EEEpc. Many (probably most) computers with modern BIOSs will recognize a USB flash drive if it is installed at boot time. This allows installation of FreeDOS normally on the drive and booting it when you are done. I have installed FreeDOS on USB flash drives. With a modern BIOS and a floppy drive, that's trivial. Slightly harder booting from CD since you have to create the CD. Mark - Original Message - From: Braden C.
