Keep in mind that "current" is only recommended for some people.
DJGPP just never finalized 2.04 (aka, "beta"), but it's also stable.
So there is nothing wrong with using 2.04 instead. Though, again,
due to heavy POSIX-isms in the world today, it's harder than it
should be to use DJGPP, e.g. fork() or dlopen() or similar. There
are workarounds, but they are often hairy. I really don't recommend
messing with DXE3 (or even DJELF) unless you really know what you're
doing.

Don't use Puppy to make it bootable. Or, if you do, and your BIOS
won't boot from it, use something like PLoP boot manager via floppy.

RUFUS uses the latest FreeDOS kernel, which supports FAT12, -16,
and -32. If you use a different DOS instead, it'll probably work,
but make sure your DOS supports FAT32. So MS-DOS 7.0 is fine but
old 6.22 is not.
