Would it be possible for someone to create a floppy installer that runs on boot up?
It would install the programs located inside the programs folder that it has on it for easy install.

I'm not really sure how to use file i/o, so I am hoping someone could easily whip this together.
Thanks for any help.

You mean boot floppy? You can change the startup file on the floppy. Then reboot terminal - file will work.

I'm talking about creating a script sort of like RedWorks, where it will install programs on boot.

I will make this for you. Give me some time and I will have a nice little program for you.

Thank you. No need to have a nice gui. Rough and command line-esque would be just as well. I just want to drop the programs to be installed into a programs folder and let the disk handle it.
