One idiot-prof way to install freedos would be by deploying a disk image to
the ssd in some automated fashion. In other words, give no options to the
user.

there, manually I use dd on Linux to do this when I need to.

Rayman Bathurst- Hi, -I'm impressed with your cred with CP/M and PDPs. But,
maybe you're so experienced that it's difficult to ask questions as a
newbie? I mean, did you skip right into Windows from there or do you have
any experience with IBM-, MS- or DR-DOS? Also, for example, it's difficult

Hi!
To install FreeDOS on SSD is basically the same as
on harddisk. If the disk is totally empty, you will
have to use FDISK /MBR or similar to make booting
work - just using SYS will not be enough. Otherwise,
SSD are almost like fast harddisks. Other differences
which exist are not noticed by D

I'm a little behind the times so can you correct my mistakes here.
SSD stands for "solid state drive" which is flash memory with
a SATA interface. This should be the same as using a CF chip
with a SATA adapter.

The difficulty is making the fixed SSD bootable. The DOS working files can be
copied from a convenient USB stick. For some applications DOS is far faster
than the pixel-mapped systems. You don't need a luxurious Merce
