As others mentioned, if you want to have both GNU/Linux and FreeDOS running at the same time in a single computer, I believe you will have to do that by running FreeDOS within GNU/Linux rather than the reverse (in theory, both should be possible, but AFAICT noone implemented the other direction). It might still let you run successfully that screen reader and synthesizer inside FreeDOS. I don't have any experience with that, tho. I get the impression that it might be simpler for you to keep using your old FreeDOS system as a frontend and use a separate machine to run GNU/Linux. === Stefan
