To cut a long story short I managed to get Windows98 dos on a USB stick. I have no idea how to do it again. So i went and found another way - incidentally this is nicer because it doesn't require a license!

Note : This will work on any OS that has dd, so pretty much all of them, but in *nix it's usually allready there!

So take a USB stick bigger than 31MB (unformatted), and then just download, uncompress and write the FreeDOS img like this :
Note : here my usb key is in /dev/sde. It will be wiped entirely. Then /dev/xxx1 will be the DOS partition. After the 31MB the rest of the space can still be used just format it! - Windows won't be able to see it.

wget http://www.madeo.co.uk/FreeDOS-1.0-USB-Boot.img.bz2
bzip2 -d FreeDOS-1.0-USB-Boot.img.bz2
dd bs=512 if=FreeDOS-1.0-USB-Boot.img of=/dev/sde
mount /dev/sde1 /mnt
cp biosfiles /mnt
umount /mnt

Thanks to derek @ http://derek.chezmarcotte.ca/ for the FreeDOS image!
