Knopix is a bit old, but I usualy dualboot with Ubuntu. This is the easy
path:
* FreeDOS should be in the first primary partition (sda1)
* the partition should be set active.
* Use grub, Ubuntu configures it automaticaly, but calls it windows
FreeDOS will not boot from extended partitions, and there are
*sometimes* problems with other primary partitions (but I have done it)

Just today I installed FreeDOS on a brand new Asus board with SATA2 a
gigabit ethernet chip.
Simple: go to www.netbootdisk.com and create a floppy. After it boots
and detects the NIC, copy it's driver including packet driver. Easy...
The truth is that if you have an application that is worth using with
FreeDOS, drivers exist :)
And it is damn fast
Alain
Command line Linux tuned properly is also fast where Linux supports more
network cards than Freedos does. Another problem, how did you find out
that there is a driver for your particular card? For Linux users, the
kernel supports a lot of network cards straight off.
Does Freedos support common nics such as:
Netgear Fa311/Fa312?
Thuderlan dual port 10/100 nics?
AOpen nics?
Tulip nics?
Other nics?
I stand by my statement that TCP/IP and DOS are probably not the best
combination. DOS does not protect the hardware from programs that
execute, because it can't. DOS cannot stop viruses/worms very easily
because it doesn't shield the hardware in the first place. This is
all the more reason to avoid connecting to global networks from a
DOS based environment.
How about DOSbox, Virtualbox, and VMWARE nics? Can Freedos use any
virtual NICS?

That depend on your needs. Been a member of the Thinstation Linux thin
client team, I have all the lightweight Linux I could wish. My
original need came from the need to BIOS upgrade a floppyless Ubuntu
box. I ended up by adding the DOS flash program and the BIOS image to
a Balder image, make an ISO of it and problem solved. Not very
elegant. So I decided to explore if I could make a boot floppy with
USB support so I could put the flash program and BIOS image on a
writable device and not have to create a new ISO every time (not that
it happens often, but now it got a pet project).
Having reached this, I wanted more: the ability to download the flash
program and the image directly with wget or even a text browser. This
is a bit hard to accomplish without TCP/IP :-) I've put the network
stack, applications
