I too would like to be able to install FreeDOS from a USB stick or from iso
image that could be booted from Syslinux, Grub4DOS or GRUB2.
I would likely install FreeDOS to USB stick.
I don't know yet how FreeDOS 1.2 will boot; Syslinux has the advantage of being
usable to boot other

Wow, I forgot all about WATT-32. Actually, since it was the official

Since it's not directly executable and the rest of the platform is 16-bit,
I suppose there's no need for it to be included as well.

quick comments:

Okay, that's the way I will proceed.
Also, I am removing Necromancer's DOS Navigator due to being closed-source.

I would tend to agree; GPL / public domain /
source-code-free-and-available-at-no-cost options are all viable in my
mind, but I want to 1) make sure I perform this task to the standards of
the project's leader and the community to which I have volunteered and 2)

Yes, they should be. I think they are all mostly the same as the GPL, but
I'm not certain. For the time being, I'll just remove the closed source
packages and leave all the public domain and source-freely-available
programs. If there's an issue, I can always pull more stuff out later on.

installer is a bunch of keypresses and text on the screen after you select
the packages to install.(I myself often forget which keys to press).

Perhaps it should take a cue from the MSDOS installer - prepare the drive
and copy over there core OS. Then at the end of the core install, prompt

Please invest that time: Having version information will
make it easier to know if you have the newest version for

What I think would be useful would be an Xcode/Visual Studio type of
environment that includes all of the recommended build tools setup with a batch
file to set paths to have the tools work from any location on the hard drive.
This can be used to rebuild the OS or to develop new applications
