I also burned the FD11src ISO to my flashdrive.I can't seem to be able to install FreeDOS from my flashdrive,as the installer gives me two options:1.Load optical driver units and install. 2.Create a drive using FDISK. I press 1 (Which is what starts the installer),but it simply blanks out,and makes FDISK the only choice.As for the ISO that gave an error,it was Mateusz's unofficial FDNPKG .iso.
