I'm having a hard time trying to understand the requirement that the
install should be super simple.
At this point in time, anybody installing any version of DOS is probably
not a novice. An installer should give you a choice of things to install,
broken down by groups and packages. Usually there are ten to twenty high
level groups to choose from, and then the individual packages are
available. It's not unreasonable to expect somebody installing an OS to do
some work to select what they want to install.
The case where we want to encourage people to kick the tires on FreeDOS is
totally different. If you want a novice to be able to run FreeDOS quickly
then make a virtual machine image available to them. VMWare, QEMU, and
VirtualBox would cover almost everything. People trying out FreeDOS in a
virtual machine would expect to have everything installed and available,
and they probably have large enough machines to make a full FreeDOS install
look like a rounding error on the disk space.
