Hi,
Since I still have the Borland Compilers in my VMs, I can take over FDISK
if needed. I can try to re-work it to work with OW. Let me know a time
frame for completion so if I take it, I don't drag the project out.

I have encountered a little bit similar problem that is not really
one, but looks like one.
That was with testing the new installer floppy image, with a freshly
created disk of 100Mb, and all_cd.iso under QEMU.
After fdisk had created the partition, the virtual system reboot.
After reboot, the sys

Have you reported a bug to them (VBox) or tried latest 5.x series?
I now see: https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/65/ although I am
unaware of a 1,3.2 version.
But I will not look any further on this for next 10 hours.

I am in the learning about translating programs.
I was aware of that page:
https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/glibc-2.2.3/html_chapter/libc_8.html
Basicaly, there is two different methods (and set of C functions) to
translate a string.
The first method is:

Just a note, when FDI launches, if the LANG variable is set it uses that
setting. If it is not
Thanks for the info. As someone who never delved that deeply into the
technicalities of the program, I think that's pretty awesome!

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 som
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

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 c
