Re: [Freedos-user] To install FreeDOS by using floppy disks only?

You can get another compatible laptop with CD just for installations. You can have many disks and just plug the one you need like a game cartridge. You can just run FORMAT /S to copy a minimal FreeDOS bootable system, then copy other programs with a laptop ATA USB enclosure.

Re: Would you use a native 32/64-bit FreeDOS/BIOS system? http://sourceforge.net/u/udocproject/profile/ I have written a few Assembly code snippets that will be helpful. I should probably talk in the development list to see how to think up 32/64-bit native implementations. For example, I have

[Freedos-user] Would you use a native 32/64-bit FreeDOS/BIOS system?

I was thinking that it could become necessary to start implementing a FreeDOS version that included natively its own BIOS, and that this combination of FreeDOS/BIOS is implemented entirely native as 32 or 64-bit code, to keep using the known DOS environment, the same DOS/BIOS INT calls

[Freedos-user] Fw: upgrade my PC from FD 1.1 to FD 1.2

Yes, it would only upgrade the kernel and the console. DOS and FreeDOS are customizable enough as to allow for upgrading only the programs, drivers and other components individually as they are needed. I always replace individual components instead of updating the whole set of binaries.

[Freedos-user] Fw: upgrade my PC from FD 1.1 to FD 1.2

You can simply back up the kernel file and the console. Back up COMMAND.COM, KERNEL.SYS, IO.SYS, IBMIO.SYS, etc., in your root directory, and then just replace those same files for the files from FreeDOS 1.2.

[Freedos-user] Fw: Install FD on a USB pendrive

To install FreeDOS on an USB flash drive, you can use Rufus, which is one of the easiest and most stable ways to do it. Once it's bootable, you can even replace the kernel copied by Rufus by your own FreeDOS binaries, which could be newer binaries or ones you have compiled yourself. See the
