The current installer can format disks and copy a core DOS system, but more features should be implemented.

  • Avoid wiping target drive by default
  • Install core utilities to C:\SYSTEM directory (Core utilities #1)
  • Detect existing DOS systems and installing over them (keep the kernel, replace everything else)
  • Detect virtual machines and show tips (e.g. changing sound card on VirtualBox)
  • Create separate USB installation image that doesn't rely on floppy emulation (maybe using GRUB2?)
