Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Bootable FreeDOS is a fully featured FreeDOS distribution with TCP/IP
networking support. It fits into single 3,5" 1,44 MiB diskette and runs on
2 MiB ramdisk. Bootable FreeDOS contains most of standart DOS utilities plus
TCP/IP networking utilities - telnet client, ssh client, scp client...


System requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minimal system requirements:

   * 386 or higher processor;
   * 4 MiB or more RAM;
   * 3,5" 1,44 MiB floppy disk drive.


Installing
~~~~~~~~~~
   Bootable FreeDOS starts from single 3,5" 1,44 MiB diskette. So, for
installation you must insert diskette in drive A: and run install.bat script.


Networking
~~~~~~~~~~
   Bootable FreeDOS has TCP/IP networking abilities, but by default they are
not activated. For networking support on Bootable FreeDOS you must copy
packet driver of your NIC to a:\startup directory and add line loading this
driver to a:\startup\startnet.bat script. By default there is driver for
NE2000-compatible boards (ne2000.com).


Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
   Bootable FreeDOS is free software. I have tried to make it error-free but
I can't guarantee anything. So, Bootable FreeDOS comes with absolutely NO
WARRANTY! Use it at your own risk!
