FreeDOS
« on: October 10, 2014, 02:57:09 AM »
I love FreeDos and DOS in general, but I have a few questions. I want to install FREEDOS to a USB flash drive (not live, but actually installed). Could I be able to do that? Would FreeDOS work on a modern PC? Also, I've been having issues for the longest time to install network drivers (on any computer), is there a way to easily get networking configured, so I can use Arachne (web browser)?

Thanks.

My question is: Could I plop in a FreeDOS install disk, create partitions on a USB Flash Drive (fat 32. I know FreeDOS supports it) and install the OS to the FlashDrive? I don't want to mess with my current windows 7 partitions or install bootloaders to my HDD.


Could I do it all by installing to my FlashDrive, or is there a work around? I found a version of FreeDOS that had extra software on it, so I'm unsure if I need help with networking, but are there generic dos drivers that would allow me to connect to the internet? And if so, how would I install those drivers?

Thanks for the reply.
