Let's suppose we have a Linux system and a FreeDOS boot floppy that we
want to make available on the net for people who want to flash their
BIOS with an .exe file, the only kind provided by the motherboard
manufacturer.

On this floppy disk (fd), we have files such as command.com for
instance.



You *are* joking, I hope? There's no such thing as command.com on any
*nix system.

Try to pay better attention. See above where he says he is talking about
a FreeDOS floppy disk? Do you think *that* might have a file named
command.com on it? Sheesh.


But the original poster confuses the issue talking about command.com

I wonder who's confusing the issue here...
