No need, just let it go and it will die by itself as members post other stuff on the forum.

See https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Creating_a_Bootable_DOS_USB_Stick
 
Unetbootin is here : https://unetbootin.net/
 
 

You could use FreeDos
 
Get FreeDOS (the usb lite installer)  : http://www.freedos.org/download/
make usb stick
copy a dos image viewer on the stick and the images (give them small names, maximum 8 letters and digits) .. i used to use Photodex SEA viewer but maybe pictview would work .. both are listed here : http://dosprograms.info.tt/graphics.htm
edit the autoexec.bat to launch the image viewer with the image as a command line parameter instead of launching the FreeDOS setup
 

Id just run ubuntu or debian, normally easier to use.
 
Really, just have a cron job at boot to run something like feh.

Should work with Rufus, follow this simple guide https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Creating_a_Bootable_DOS_USB_Stick
Make sure all the settings are the same. You need FAT32 for example as DOS does not know NTFS.

well the os under the hood will have a gui or cli, so you can't get rid of that.
 
Its super easy to run a program at start, look up that for linux, and just run a image viewer full screen at bootup.

So just to clarify, you're trying to make a USB drive boot to an image to install on your MS-DOS virtual machine?

Why not just have linux on a usb that auto runs a program. You can also do this with window to go. Id stay away form dos here.
