[Freedos-devel] FreeDos languages

How did "patagonian" appear in the list of requested FreeDos languages ? AFAIK 1) There is no patagonian language. 2) PT stands for "portuguese" in the ISO page codes. Regards JAS --

Re: [Freedos-devel] fdisk translation

Hi! We already have command line control for at least one of the fdisk variants which usually ship with FreeDOS, but using that to let the installer auto-kill all the data of the user gives me nightmares. You can simply use FDISK /? (who would have guessed it) to get a list of the command line

Re: [Freedos-devel] fdisk translation

Yeah, I have no idea why I just *assumed* the source code was unavailable. I guess out of my own experience with software which is no longer under active development and has long lost sources. I suppose I was forward-projecting that on this situation as well. Oops. lol On 12/22/2015 3:57 PM,

Re: [Freedos-devel] fdisk translation

That sucks, especially considering his FDisk is a valuable tool at the heart of many, many FreeDOS installs. It's a shame that those with that attitude penalize the entire FreeDOS project by turning away benevolent developers with years of skill and experience behind them who happen to have

Thanks for the info. As someone who never delved that deeply into the technicalities of the program, I think that's pretty awesome! On 12/22/2015 4:30 PM, Eric Auer wrote: > Hi! > > We already have command line control for at least one of the fdisk > variants which usually ship with FreeDOS, but

Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS 1.2 ALL packages

Hi Rugxulo, while DJGPP is rather large, in particular if you include lots of sub-packages, I think FPC (Pascal) and FreeBASIC can be a lot smaller to install and OpenWatcom C in the middle... Also, I would assume that LFN drivers are part of the ALL install, so why not install ALL compilers?

When testing the installer, it was not feeling right to go from the french installer to the english fdisk... how could fdisk be translated? -- ___ Freedos-devel mailing list
