I use these drivers, working on 2 "modern" machines w/o floppy drives
downloading files, and 4 vintage laptops with usb 1.1 , transferring files
back and forth, They perform flawlessly and save a lot of cdrom burning.
Works on both FAT16 and FAT32 but not on Compaq DOS 3.31 (need 4.0 or
higher).
What happened with the USBDRIVE set that was on the first FreeDOS 1.1 CD?
These worked fairly well for me, but I did experience more hanging that
with the ASPI driver.
Personally, I hate using ASPI drivers, but for one drive at a time, these
are perfect.

I use Dillo, but I accept and perhaps appreciate its limitations. By this I
mean that when in FreeDOS, I am in a different "time zone" (1993?) and
there were only so many things that you could do online back then in a DOS
browser and whatever you could do was in a text browser so DILLO is

Perhaps a more updated alternative to opengem would be XFDOS
I have tried it and found it be quite an impressive interface and its word

Yes it is possible by various methods. Rufus is one. If perchance you have
a linux installation then you can download the iso and copy it to a flash
drive via the dd method. I have also used the following method:

I have been able to clone a hd image to cd, from FreeDOS but have not been
successful in actually burning a cdimage to a cd. Why not just zip an
installation and copy that to a cd? Then you can use a burner such as
WinIso or K3B, use the boot image from the all_cd or another FreeDOS iso

When you are making the iso what kind of bootable image are you using? For
a blank CD, I use FDOEM.144 from here:

Then I add the drivers for the PC I want to be able to boot since so many
new PCs require different various drivers to boot into a DOS environment.

I have been reinstalling FreeDOS and have my NIC card setup,
I have a working connection (am writing this from my DILLODOS browser)
but cannot get a download from FDNPKG. I can download to my HD and then install
but FDNPKG is stalling.
And by the way, if anyone doesn't know yet, Matesuz changed th
not download anything I have tried, I even uninstalled (FDNPKG REMOVE)
a few packages and then tried to reinstall them to no avail.
