You mean for creating a bootable USB stick? Maybe makebootfat or sys-freedos-linux can help you here: www.ywesee.com/pmwiki.php/Site/FlashingBiosOfALinuxServer I know, this does not "install from disk image", but I would not recommend using disk images for USB flash anyway, because USB sticks come in all sizes and you do not have disk images in all sizes, or at least having them would waste space on a web server. So you better use a tool to make the stick boot and then copy the files as files, for example after downloading a zip with FreeDOS files. The Rugxulo diskette distro can be useful here: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ It has 3 diskettes, 2 of which already have all BASE FreeDOS components in the versions we would use for FreeDOS 1.1 :-) You can also get a "one 2.88 MB diskette" variant as single download there, instead of downloading one zip per diskette. Note that the "make bootable" tools mentioned above are not for DOS: In DOS, you would simply use SYS instead. You may also have to use FDISK to flag the partition on your USB stick as bootable. You may also need FDISK /MBR to make the MBR bootable as well. This should work if your BIOS supports USB storage well enough. If not, or if you have to use block device style USB drivers in DOS (if the BIOS supports USB storage, no DOS drivers are needed, sticks will just work) then you will be unable to use FDISK and only SYS will work. Or of course use your Linux or Windows and a tool like the sys-freedos-linux or makebootfat mentioned above... :-) Eric PS: DISKCOPY does work for non-diskette drives as well, I believe, but as said, you will not have a diskimage which has the correct size for your USB stick in most cases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
