Any FreeDOS users out there?

There aren't many uses for DOS-like OSes anymore, I'll admit... but FreeDOS works GREAT in a virtual machine. Installation got a bit confused and couldn't find the boot disk after the first reboot, but a manual shutdown / reboot cleared that up. I'd think the primary use case for FreeDOS is running programs that DOSBox (and its frontends) can't handle... but I have yet to find such a program.

I've toyed with it in the past, maybe I'll pick it back up.

What do you use freedos for?

I'll admit to not having a use for it right now. I installed it in a VM just to play with.

Dos boot usb stick for those times you need to update firmware or at least that is the only thing I have used in for in these past few decades although it was on floppy early on for that usage..
