I picked up a batch of really crappy computers for a very low price.
CPU 60 MHz
RAM 16 MB
Hard disk 100 MB
When I bought them they originally had WIN95 installed, but it was very slow. So I plan to switch them all to a pure DOS system, but I don't know how to install a pure DOS system on machines like this, and also how to install some software under DOS.
For example, typing software.
Please give me some advice, experts...

Write the DOS img file to a floppy disk, then boot the computer from installation disk 1, and just follow the prompts.

Then just copy over some external commands, right?

I've used this kind of machine. Mine had only 4M of RAM, even less than yours. Installed DOS5.0 and then added win32.

Don't call Windows 3.2 win32, it really sounds awkward.
