Consider downloading the iso for damn small linux at: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org
It's a bootable CD and is great for doing system repair. It can handle most any type of disk system (dos, window,linux, etc) and can do networking and usb as well. All from the boot cdrom. It's so small it can find on a credit-card sized cdrom. You can purchase those I believe. --- On Mon, 7/21/08, david lowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: david lowe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Freedos-user] virtual OS/bootdisk? > To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Monday, July 21, 2008, 10:06 AM > I am wondering if it's possible (and allowed) to burn > the FreeDOS OS on a cd, instead of preparing to install it > to my hard drive.
