There's a USB fob drive version of the FreeDOS 1.2 installer at https://www.freedos.org/download/ (look for "Full USB" or "Lite USB"). The FreeDOS 1.3 rc3 also has USB versions of the installer. But this is designed to put the *installer* on a USB fob drive, so you can boot the fob drive to install FreeDOS to a hard drive. If you instead want to install *to a USB fob drive* then you will need to start from the FreeDOS installer (could be the USB installer) but exit the installer and install "manually" (or with the Advanced Setup option) to change the install target to the other USB fob drive. The install program is just automating a bunch of steps for you. To install "manually" you can just follow these steps: 1. FDISK the target USB fob drive 2. FORMAT /S the target USB fob drive (or use FORMAT itself, then use SYS .. the /S option will run SYS for you) 3. Unzip the packages you need onto the target USB fob drive I hope that helps. Jim
