QDos isn't a proper OS, it´s more of an conversion for Computercraft to be more MS-DOS like.

Features
-removed some Linux like commands
-added some DOS like commands
-copied the whole rom to the qdos folder, now you can edit system files and add help files as you like
-if something goes wrong simply delete the startup file and you´re back to vanilla CraftOS


Commands
clear -> cls
delete -> del, erase
list -> dir
mkdir -> mkdir, md
cd -> cd, chdir
rename -> was removed, please use move instead!


Download
The QDos Installer can be download via
 pastebin get QZJq3VDX install 
, when the download is finished simply run
 install 
.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply run a few shell.setAlias calls to set your shell up to use those names? I think move and dir are already set up as aliases.

Yes, but then dir is just an alias for list and I wanted it to be more authentic.
rename -> move
just means that I removed the rename command.

Why remove rename, though? Rename and ren are perfectly valid commands in MS-DOS. Copying the existing programs and renaming them doesn't make things "more authentic", it just takes up more space. Setting up aliases would probably be a better solution, to be honest.
