When I install DOS and/or OpenGEM, I would typically first use a big Windows or Linux based non-destructive partition resizer, maybe with a nice GUI like GPARTED, to make space for DOS and format the partition. So it is good if there is an option to skip all steps before the SYS. Even SYS is risky, there should be an option to write the boot sector only to a file and put all DOS files at places where they do not overlap with other Win / DOS versions, for cases where users want to install several OSes on a FAT drive.
