When I suggested that FreeDOS 1.3 should contain a LiveCD, I had
something more useful in mind than the thing that materialized now;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD
  'A live CD (also live DVD, live disc, or live operating system) is a complete 
bootable computer installation
   including operating system which runs directly from a CD-ROM or similar 
storage device into a computer's
   memory, rather than loading from a hard disk drive. A Live CD allows users 
to run an operating system
    for any purpose without installing it or making any changes to the 
computer's configuration.
    Live CDs can run on a computer without secondary storage, such as a hard 
disk drive,
    or with a corrupted hard disk drive or file system, allowing data
    recovery.'

if Ubuntu can run from a DVD, DOS certainly should also be able.

I had in mind, that people would be able to boot the CD,

play an old game

   C:\>CD GAMES
          CD SNAKE
          SNAKE

or
     CD GEM
     GEM

and see the beauty of a GUI on DOS.

the current 'LiveCD' is none of this.

whatever the purpose of this 'LiveCD' imitation is, I probably just
don't get it.

Tom
