Anyone know why there's no simple bootable floppy image available in the
downloads section of http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/, one that could
format and/or sys C:?

Felix,
It may be cause it is so easy to make a boot floppy,no one thought it is
necessary.
I booted with the CD, then useing the FreeDos in the CD,.C:\fdos\bin if I
remember correct,
useing FORMAT/S A: ,..this formats the floopy as system disk, it should be
bootable,
This also works if you have freedos, or any dos already on you HD,... then I
added afew files,.. such as edit, I made my autoexec, and config sys, the way
I wanted, of course on a floppy there is not much room,for much more then to
make it bootable, however I am not useing OS2, nor linux, so ...this worked
for me , useing windowsxp, and or also useing
FreeDos, after I had installed it and had the CD drive working...I have several
bootable floppys, but have never tried this, I guess I could make a image, and
put it on my dropbox,..
I may just do that this evening, I to never had given it a thought, as it is
easy to make the floppy, and also so few people use them.
Any way good luck,...from
Garry
