At first download
http://reactos.csh-consult.dk/download.php?sid=FreeLoader-20040310-bochs.i386.tar.gz
The newest version of FreeLoader you can find at
http://reactos.csh-consult.dk/index.php?page=snapshots

Then unpack it with WinZip (http://www.winzip.com/) or on Linux/Unix with 
"tar xvfz fileename".
Then you have an floppy image called freeldr.img

To write this image to a floppy disk use RawWrite 
(http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm) for example. Or an 
linux type in: "dd if=freeldr.img of=/dev/fd0"


>is the program for writing freeldr to diskette delivered with ReactOS?

No.


>can it run from DOS?

Yes, please use RawWrite for DOS for this:

>can it run from Windows? (autorun.inf entry maybe?)

Yes, then use RwawWrite for Windows:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm
But you can use RawWrite for DOS, too. But that it isn't with GUI.


>can it run from ReactOS? (guess not, as long as floppy is disabled).

don't know.
