DOS live USB image with tools for writers

[liam_on_linux]

 I finally got round to publishing a version 1.0 of my long-running hobby project: a bootable DOS live USB image with tools for writers, providing a distraction-free writing environment.

This is very rushed and the instructions are incomplete. Only FAT16 for now; FAT32 coming real soon now.

Awesome project!

Just wanted to say that I saw this post featured in the Brutalist report and love this idea. I'm going to try it out very soon. I run a website focused on tech, writing, and inspiration so this is perfect for me and my site visitors. I made a little write-up of it on my page and provided attribution and links, hope that's okay! Here's my post: https://plumapapel.com/open-source-distraction-free-portable-writing-system-on-a-usb/

My day job is at the Register, but this is my continuation of my old Livejournal tech blog, which is about 15 years or more old now... :-)

Oh my.

FWIW I started my Livejournal, which continues now at lproven, in 2002.
