It's compact because it doesn't provide much OS functions. Almost none 
actually.
It's more like an interactive bootloader or something.
and yes.. "on systems with removed hard drives" should ofcourse read "on 
IMB PC compatible systems with removed hard drives". Not all are that...
But yes, I run ms-dos on my 286 laptop, its the best (with a wide meaning 
of best) for that one.
But now we are off topic :)
