So, that computer came with Linux, and it has a GPT partition scheme. Do
you think it would help to convert it to a msdos partition scheme? I mean
in theory it should boot regardless?

The bios in my machine has a section called "boot override" which works in

result was the same.

Eh... I tried every single BIOS setting that might be even slightly
relevant. I created the USB sticks with the programs which are recommended
for me to use. I ordered 3 USB sticks of different brands. I devoted 24
hours to make this work already. If the new sticks don't work, I think

So, as I said in another message, I have a computer where I wish to install
FreeDOS. It is a *Compaq Presario 427, Intel Pentium N3700, 4GB RAM, SSD
240GB, and a 14" screen.*
Unfortunately, I cannot get it to boot the installation media
Oh! Suppose I install FreeDOS and later a Linux distribution. Will GRUB
acknowledge and launch FreeDOS ?

Hi!
I will be installing FreeDOS 1.3 on my laptop, a Compaq Presario 42. It has
an Intel Pentium N3700, 4GB RAM, SSD 240GB, and 14" screen. I have a few
questions.
First, what is the ideal filesystem for FreeDOS? As a Linux user for many
years, I have the habit of preparing the partitions
That did it! "ã" and other tilde-accentuated characters are displaying
perfectly now. Thanks!
Although I cannot say I understand the fix, it did work and now all
tilde-accentuated characters work fine everywhere in FreeDOS.
I had to change "fdos" to "freedos" since that is how the directory is
Unfortunately, after entering the following:
display con=(ega,850,1)
mode con cp prep=((850) C:\freedos\cpi\ega.cpx)
There was no alteration in the displaying of "ã".

I tried the commands. "MODE CON CP SELECT=858" and "MODE CON CP
SELECT=850". The "ã" still displays as that weird character.

Sorry, but how can I change my codepage? I don't really know what that is.
Thanks!

1. I enter "ã" by typing the "~ ^" followed by the "a" key. Resulting in
"ã".
2. Yes, it is a separate key on my keyboard. By itself, that key will
generate the tilde. With shift, it generates the "little hat" (circumflex),
which is used in words such as "ângulo" or "acadêmico". The circumflex
The "ã" is a very common character in Portuguese. It shows up in words such
as "não", "alçapão", and "órgão".
The system's keyboard and layout are already configured to "br" (for
Brazilian Portuguese) and working perfectly. Other accentuated characters
display just fine. That is the case of "á",
I installed a bunch of stuff (all editors) but when I try to run them it
doesn't seem like they're on the path. Is that the correct behavior? Should
I manually add the bins to path? If so, how?
Thanks!
