I was able to install FreeDOS with the support of Mark Bailey. I think that his instruction file makes it fairly clear how to install. (I will probably always be a complete novice in all things pertaining to computers.) The following are supplemental notes I made as Mark helped me. (It is

It is possible to run DOS on one of the cores. You will need VMware Workstation. But I am not sure if QEMU supports it as well. I personally use QEMU with FreeDOS on top of my Ubuntu Linux computer. And, Windows XP comes with a DOS subsystem to work on top of it, so try that first. If that has a
