I'm and old PC user I don't use dos any more so that's why I need help on this thing that I want to do. I want to make a custom boot disk that shows want ever I want like ............................................. . . HELLO! . ............................................. and doesn't show any ms crap or system crap and that it doesn't modify nothing in what ever pc I use only uses ram, and the disk now it most have 2 or 3 files small enough to leave 1.3 of space or mor in the disk so I can add an app called POVray for dos. Well may I think I need to read a tutorial on making boot disks and on using dos, long time I don't use it.

You need ansi.sys to control the color of the background and text displayed onscreen. Also the easiest way to display text from a floppy would be to use the echo command in autoexec followed by the pause command, this stops the batch process and allows the reading of the message(use echo. to display a blank line). @echo if you do not want "echo" displayed (@ infront of any command prevents it from showing). Hope this helps
