Most of you missed the point on this.
Here's the clearer version, based upon me reading (and re-reading several
times). As a matter of fact, I'll use an example.
Install any version of MS/PC-DOS prior to 6.0 on a computer. It boots up,
tells you that you are running that particular version of
My thoughts exactly!

Problem solved. :)

It sure can :)
The most straightforward way I can think of to do this would be to use
eliminate everything from FreeCOM on up. This would leave you with the
FreeDOS bootloader and kernel.sys. Kernel.sys seems to only need
command.com, so whatever you make could load in its place right there,
Blackout[0] or bootsplash[1] could solve the screen blanking.

Would you be using NASM or something of the liking,or DIRECTLY inputting

By minimal, I mean that the boot sector program, and the kernel
(kernel.sys), don't do any displaying of text. All they need to do is
set up the DOS interrupt vectors (so that they behave correctly just as
with MS-DOS), and then load and execute the first
