I'm switching my MSDOS usb key to FREEDOS now, and my fancy menu system (buit
in config.sys) doesn't work under freedos (just scrolls right past during
bootup).
Is the menu feature not available in the freedos version of config.sys? Or
does it work differently?
Thanks

I just found my answer in the online doc :) so now the tougher questions:
1. Can I have more than 9 options in a menu
2. How does freedos know that I have picked a valid option (how do I tell
freedos which numbers in use)
3. Can I have 3 nested menus? (My current MSDOS config.sys has 3 menus, o
and if I can add a question 4 to the list:
4. Can I load device drivers from autoexec.bat? (essentially moving my menus
from config.sys to autoexec.bat)
Thanks

yes, and also from the command line: just use "devload" from the distribution.
"help devload" for more info. (devload is on the full dist.)
"locate devload" finds it on the full install set up by the full dist. .

Most drivers can be loaded from autoexec.bat and/or commandline

I can boot anything and I have a system in the corner that has 12 TB of disk on
it which I can build anything on. I just want to know how to get a bootable USB
up with freedos running and maybe this will do it, thanks.

The difficult way I used was us
The USB drivers make a flash drive look like a removable hard drive, not a
floppy drive (though the drivers will also work with a USB floppy drive). You
can't start with a floppy image.
If the BIOS will correctly boot from an external USB hard drive or flash drive,
you can simply use the stand
