Thanks, Eric, I think that little roundup covers the question.

Hi John,

most DOS programs do not care at all what type of drive you use.

Only disk manipulation matters: For example CHKDSK does not, but
the alternative DOSFSCK does support fat32. Support in FORMAT &
FDISK is complete. Support in DEFRAG is very limited. What else
would you like to know about fat32? :-)

Whatever issues I have found have been totally unrelated to FAT32 (well
today, I found an installer that wouldn't install to a FAT32 partition, but
that was a rare find); most issues I have are of the Freecom variety I have
to LOADFIX way too many programs, but .082 fixes that for my most stubborn
vintage programs.

[Freedos-user] State of native FD 1.1 programs support for FAT32?

[John Hupp]

I haven't looked at this question for a long time so it probably bears 
asking again.

I have been using 2GB FAT16 partitions because of my recollection that 
some of the FreeDOS programs didn't support FAT32 properly. I'm sorry I 
don't have notes on the particulars, just a recollection of my 
conclusion from a dive into the question a long time ago.

Can anyone say with some authority what the current state of affairs is?
