It is very difficult to boot anything other than the installed OS. So, your only viable option is to remove the drive from the Netbook and plug it into another PC. Since, you don't want to do that multiple times, I recommend the following. Manually partition the drive as C: (1-2GB) and D: (1GB). Install FreeDOS using the other machine to Drive C:. Then copy the entire contents of either the Big USB stick or CD to drive D:. This way all of the games and packages that don't get installed with BASE or FULL will be easily accessible on Drive D:. Reinsert Drive back in netbook. All done. Unlike Windows and some other OS releases, nothing will prevent you from moving the installed OS from one machine to another.
