Regarding diskcopy, fdnpkg, md5sum and mem translations in French and
Turkish, I had made a glaring encoding mistake, which appears to be
fixed in the repository. Jerome seems to have used the files attached to
<https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/issues/26> :-)
As for the mistakes in Blocek translations in French and Turkish that
Willy has noticed (encoding, keyboard shortcuts and so on), they also
should be fixed in the fd-nls repository now.
A general test and report about translations by W. Spiegl may be found
at
<https://github.com/shidel/fd-nls/blob/master/zzz-notes-and-misc-items/NLS-was-funzt-was-nicht.txt>
showing some programs do not make use of their NLS files.
Apart from that, it would indeed be *really* nice to fix bug 282 and bug
306 IMHO (when one chooses the French or Turkish (and possibly other)
keyboard layouts on the installer, after the installation this is not
taken into account).
I would also suggest fixing bug 347
(<https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/347/>) in order to make network
connectivity easier with CRYNWR drivers. Fixing this should be really
straightforward (just review and apply the stupid attached patch and add
LSPPP.EXE to the crynwr archive).
Finally, I would like to ask a question: if memory serves me well, there
was an automatic network detection in FreeDOS 1.2 in VirtualBox. A
message beginning with "Good new everyone" announced it. Would it be
possible to keep that feature for FreeDOS 1.3?
