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,
also named command.com. Kernel.sys would then need patched or recompiled
to remove the simple boot message.

I think that can be done right? If we are finished with 1.2, then we
(or some of us) can make it. Unless, nobody wants to do such thing.
So, yeah I am volunteering. but it still needs an under layer right
(for running programs)?

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 file,
command.com <http://command.com>. No
displaying text at all. The screen should remain blank until something
in command.com <http://command.com> causes text or graphics to
display. Such an absolute
minimal version of FreeDOS would be useful for me, because it would
allow me to write my own program in assembly language, call it
command.com <http://command.com>, and then copy that file to the
disk, and use it to boot
another computer directly into the software I've written. This minimal
version of FreeDOS would be just a boot-loader for my own OS-level
software, a launch-point for my application (my application
existing in
place of an OS, rather than being run from an OS), that would then run
upon booting.
