In any case the question is like asking Bill Gates how to install DRDOS on my PC -- it's not relevant in this forum indeed.

re: [fd-dev] Dosemu without FreeDOS
Hi, you can install MS-DOS or DR-DOS by simply copying it to a drive where Dosemu boots from, it will autodetect the type of kernel and simulate the right bootsector. If this does not work, you need to follow the usual procedure and install the other DOS by using sys - then you need to use a diskimage for the target drive (the simulated A: or C: ...). You can start Dosemu as: xdosemu -C and xdosemu -A to select the boot drive if you have both configured as bootable, like in (from dosemu.conf): $_vbootfloppy = diskimage.bin +hd $_floppy_a =threeinch $_hdimage = freedos fatimage.bin # in ~/dosemu # freedos is a subdirectory of ~/dosemu, which is visible as C:, # while fatimage.bin is the image of another harddisk visible as D: For extra coolness you can use MetaKern to have a boot menu that allows you to select - which partition to boot - which of two DOSes on the current disk to boot - which disk, A: or C: to boot Installation is nonautomatic, so search the FreeDOS homepage for more details on how to use it, or read the readme in there :-). It is somewhere on: http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/soft/ it will probably NOT work for directories simulating drives, but it DOES work for me when I install it on diskimage.bin (all choices, including boot from C:, work - but as C: has no partitions and the partition menu is only active when MetaKern is installed on C:, you cannot select WHICH partition of C: you want to boot ;-)). So I either boot xdosemu (1.1.3.7) with -C option for FreeDOS or with -A for the menu (but I only have FreeDOS in different versions, so probably the menu is not THAT useful for me ;)).
