Well, it is always tricky to install an OS to a computer with a single drive,
no USB, no CD, no Floppy. It is very difficult to boot anything other than the
installed OS.
So, your only viable option is to remove the drive from the Netbook and plug it
into another PC.
Since, you don't want to do that multiple times, I recommend the following.
Manually partition the drive as C: (1-2GB) and D: (1GB). Install FreeDOS using
the other machine to Drive C:. Then copy the entire contents of either the Big
USB stick or CD to drive D:.
This way all of the games and packages that don't get installed with BASE or
FULL will be easily accessible on Drive D:.
Reinsert Drive back in netbook.
All done. Unlike Windows and some other OS releases, nothing will prevent you
from moving the installed OS from one machine to another.

</span>If your computer doesn't have a CDROM drive, use the USB fob drive<br>
installer. Write this to a USB fob drive and boot it to start the<br>
install. The "Full" and "Lite" versions install the same FreeDOS, but<br>
the "Lite" installer does not contain some extra bonus software<br>
packages.<br>
