DOS疑难解答 & 问题讨论（解答室） » How to remove the date and time prompts after FreeDOS starts

As the title says, every time the system starts up, it asks for input. Although you can skip it by pressing Enter, it still feels annoying, because not that many people need to adjust the date and time every single time. So I want to ask, is there any way to remove these two prompts and go straight to the command prompt interface after startup?

Put an empty autoexec.bat, or one you need, in the root directory of the disk. Not sure if this is the case, since I haven't used FreeDOS, but this method basically works for traditional DOS, so FreeDOS should probably follow this unwritten rule too.

It really does work, thanks for the answer from the poster above. Because when I looked at the FreeDOS floppy disk image, there was no Autoexec.bat file in it, so I never thought of that.
