Install Free Dos on a disk. You will be prompted to
install components from the following packages:

The FreeDOS OS is split into 10 packages each pertaining to a particular
aspect of the OS. They are as follows:

   1. base - Essential DOS utilities which reproduce the functionality
   of MS-DOS

   2. compress - Free file compression and decompression utilities (7zip,
   arj, bzip2, cabextract, gzip, tar, zoo ...)

   3. driver - Free drivers for network cards and usb

   4. edit - A collection of editors (emacs, vim, pg, setedit, ospedit)

   5. games - A good choice of free DOS games - Doom, Solitare, BumpNJump,
   nethack, tetris...

   6. gui - Gem Desktop (Very nice)

   7. lang - Free compilers and assemblers
   (Pascal,C,Basic,assembler,Fortran, debuggers,make tool...)

   8. media - Free multimedia applications (cdrtools, ogg vorbis,
   mpxplay,lame ...)

   9. net - Networking programs (wget, VNC, SSH client, lynx, arachne,
   mail client, wattcp - a free TCP/IP stack for DOS).

   10. util - Free file, directory and other utilities (fprot anti virus,
   locate, head, du, cal, dos32ax, tail, tee, 4dos, uptime ...)


Make sure you install gem desktop, c compiler, and an editor.  You need
not install any networking software. If you would like to have a version
of freedos that runs under VirtualBox that includes networking then
please visit http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/.

Note, I always ran fdisk on my disk before an install.
