GeekDOS is a free FreeDOS based OS by Benjamin Dibell that boots from CDs and DVDs, USB drives, Hard disks, and a minimalistic version from floppy via an included script.
GeekDOS includes an installer that installs GeekDOS to the first recoginized supported filesystem. GeekDOS will start to a fully usable environment whether or not installed, with little if any difference when installed. It includes many small open source or abandonware utilities and games, as well as the built-in now open source DOS Navigator GUI. I hope you find GeekDOS useful, Ben Dibell.
BEFORE INSTALLING: realize that the GeekDOS file system creator does not always work on every disk. We recommend creating a small partition and formatting it as FAT16 BEFORE installing GeekDOS. This greatly improves the odds of a successful install.
