Hi, I would like to clarify some things:
FreeDOS is limited to 2Gb files, some special programs can use 4Gb (full
32 bits sector number) but it is not the norm.
FAT32 is free, but IIRC there a patents problems with other newer formats
Disk size is not a problem, I have routinely installed very big
partitions and FreeDOS can handle that just fine. Remember that FerrDOS
has evolved a lot over time.

Do you know maybe where do these limits come from?
I thought it should be 4GiB for both since this is the file size limit
for FAT32.
IIRC, FAT16 in something like classic MS-DOS 6.22 supports max ~65000
files and 2 GB max file size and 2 GB max partition size. (But you can
have four primary partitions.)
FreeDOS supports FAT32 of much larger partition (2 TB?) and 2 GB max per file.
