Bug Description

Steps to reproduce: 1.Try to create a BIOS update disk with a few clicks.
This is very easy to do. I propose a program should be installable in Ubuntu to create a FreeDOS boot disk to make a BIOS update disk, Windows repair disk, or anything else requiring a DOS boot disk.

It is only needed sometimes. It is not needed for everyday use.

This seems like more of a feature/program suggestion then a bug. Try http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? The latest release contains a utility to create a USB boot disk on a flash drive. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.
