Try a Commodore 64.

In other words, you want an operating system without a disk (DOS
stands for Disk Operating System). If that's not what you are
looking for, you had better explain a little more clearly.

Chris, I suppose you know this, but the name "disk operating system" was
coined back at the time because DOS was indeed not a real eoperating
systeme, but a software layer that served as an application starter and
as a tool for manipulating floppy disks - there were no hard disks in
the earliest PC's. Ergo, "disk operating system" doesn't have anything
to do with the operating system being installed on the disk, but just
with the designated purpose of that system.

However, if I read the original poster's question right, I believe that
he may be under the impression that...
- Either GNU/Linux is a GUI-only system - an idea which would be quite
impossible to conceive for anyone ever having installed GNU/Linux at
least once; or
- GNU/Linux runs on top of MS-DOS.

The original poster seems to inquire about a commandline system that
allows one to interact with the system in the same way DOS does, i.e.
by commands and scripts that manipulate files and memory contents.

In other words - and again: if I read the OP correctly - what he wants
and needs is to get acquainted with /bash/ - or another shell for that
matter.
