Re: Making a Bootable DOS USB Drive to Upgrade BIOS

Dear Rich,

I just submitted a Slackbuild for Unetbootin to Sbo .
It has not been approved yet, but if you like you could clone it from
git.
With Unetbootin it should be easy to create a FreeDos Usb-Stick.

The Slackbuild is here :

https://github.com/schiffsratte/unetbootin.SlackBuild.git

Some instructions are in the sources, in general normal docs for
Unetbootin apply.

Hope it helps,
Jens
