I agree on all counts. Booting DOS from a USB key is quite easy on any computer from the last 10-15 years. It needs no drivers or anything; the system firmware makes the USB key look like a hard disk to DOS, so it is _much easier_ than trying to access a USB device from DOS, which needs complex drivers and configuration. And since the USB key can be used again and again, unlike an optical medium, it is more environmentally friendly too, as well as easier. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
