I'm happy to hear that I don't have to worry about VASK being used by the
OS post install! That was a big concern for me.

Alright this is what I have done so far: On VirtualBox, I created a virtual
DOS machine, set the hard disk to HDD (I chose this because all the
tutorials about PockDOS I've read used HDD as the format of virtual disk
images), then installed FreeDOS 1.4 using the floppy edition successfully.

(Even though it was on my laptop, it took a small while. And indeed
decompression is CPU intensive - The installation even made my laptop's
fans spin a lot. I can image if I actually did it on my Jornada 720, it
would take a LONG time.)

Now I have an HDD file, roughly 20MB, that supposedly has FreeDOS 1.4
installed. I copied the HDD file to my mobile device. Then I made a virtual
disk redirected to that HDD on PocketDOS, and let it boot from that disk.
However it shows "No Operating System Present"... At the moment I have no
idea why. On VirtualBox, I can still run FreeDOS without any problem.
