Hi Nick: Well, the product is a floppy disk image file which people can download and either copy to a real floppy, use in a virtual machine, or use to create a bootable CD. You would need to boot a version of FreeDOS with the kernel and command.com that you want to use, and use the "SYS" command to make a floppy (or image), bootable. You need to make sure that the SYS command, kernel, and command.com versions are the ones you want!
Once the disk is bootable, you would copy the desired files to the floppy, configure autoexec.bat and fdconfig.sys as you want, and then, if you are using a real floppy disk drive, create the floppy disk image. Some testing might also be in order. There are several different ways to create disk images. What part of this can we help with? :-) There are tools to do these things on DOS, Windows, or Linux and ways to do it with and without real floppy disk drives.
