Is there any way to install DOS on a modern PC or laptop with no floppy
drive? I can burn CDs if necessary but I can't figure out if it's possible
to get 5 installation disks on one CD to be recognized during an install or
if a CD install for DOS is even possible. Any suggestions?

If the PC supports PXE boot does anybody know if you can install DOS over
PXE or how hard it is to setup a PXE server? What are my options for doing
this I guess is my question.
