You might also want to find some msdos install floppies/images to get the useful utilities over. I can't remember which of those (if any) are required ( config.sys, probably), but to be safe you can copy those over as well, using the same method as for. On top of that there are three system files: autoexec.bat, system.ini, and config.sys.

Sys is a shell builtin, along with dir, del, cd, and the other basics. (presuming that the floppy is a: and the harddrive is c:) If you've got the system booted from a MSDOS floppy, the way to install the same boot-system onto the local harddrive is as follows: sys a: c: Disclaimer: It's been at least two decades since I last did this, so I may have forgotten some details.
