Especially if you want to create a FreeDOS USB Drive. I mean the Github issues regarding FreeDOS in the Unetbootin Repo reach back till 2016, and seem never to have been fixed. While FreeDOS is available in Version 1.4 (to the time i am writing this) Unetbootin ships version 1.0, which is not a surprise because the last release of the program dates to feb 2021, and the last commits in the repo where done somewhere in 2023. I mean it is fair enough to talk abaout abandonware here.
So what to do if you want to create a FreeDOS USB Drive using Linux, maybe because you need a DOS for updating a crappy old Raid Controller.
Head over to the FreeDOS homepage, go to downloads and get the zip file for real hardware. Lite or Full version depends on your usecase. Now simply burn the img file in the archive to your USB drive using dd if=freedos.img of=/dev/sd*ofyourdrive* bs=1M and you are done. All the stuff an your receiving will be destroyed, so be carefull. No need for fancy tools.
