FreeDOS is a free, DOS-compatible operating system that you can use to play classic DOS games or anything that required DOS.

Theoretically, any program that works on MS-DOS should also run on FreeDOS. Some utilities are also provided.

FreeDOS should run on any Intel 386 or better with 2MB of memory and 40MB disk space.

FreeDOS is a complete operating system that will delete whatever is on your partition. It is not designed to be on your main computer. To be sure you don't overwrite your current operating system, consider using FreeDOS in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.

Editor's Note:
Most users should install FreeDOS using the LiveCD. The dev recommends using a PC emulator or virtual machine. If you don't want to install it, you can boot the Live CD to try it out. You can also install extra programs from the BonusCD.

If you want to install FreeDOS on real hardware without a CD-ROM drive, use the FullUSB instead. The LiteUSB installs the same version of FreeDOS, but contains fewer of the extra programs.

The download info for Legacy and Classic Hardware is available here.
