+cat << EOF
+FreeDOS is a complete, free, DOS-compatible operating system meant for
classic
+PC hardware. It provides the kernel, the command interpreter, a file system
+driver for FAT and a growing collection of DOS utilities and games.
+
+This is the Floppy-Only Edition, the release that installs from diskettes
+instead of from a CD or a USB stick. It carries the whole operating system on
+x86BOOT.img and x86DSK01.img and up, which suits a 286 without a CD-ROM
drive,
+and suits the DOS emulators that boot a floppy image rather than a disk:
mount
+x86BOOT.img as drive A: of DOSBox, or attach it as a floppy of QEMU or Bochs,
+and the installer runs as it would on real hardware.
+
+The archive holds three sets of diskette images:
+* 5.25" 1.2MB
+* 3.5" 720KB
+* 3.5" 1.44MB
+
+All three sets carry the same files, so any one of them installs the same
+system.
