Sorry, I didn’t notice. Displaying the found translations is a new feature in the build environment. I know there are a couple missin from the German translations. So, I figured it might be nice that you were shown during that phase. > >> Generally, I build it locally in VirtualBox using openSUSE Leap.

Super easy to build one. :-) > * If the installation language is Russian, the text is garbled, no > Cyrillic letters are displayed. Yeah, that’s a known issue. Cant really think of a “good” way to solve it. Here’s the problem. Language and translation change when that language is highlighted on the menu. However, the Language settings, Codepage and font are not set until that language is actually selected. This requires loading some TSRs. They may be a way to unload them. But, I don’t know if or what it is. I have a bunch of stuff I’ve written over the years that can load fonts. Most recently are the QFONT tools included with PGME. They can convert to/from simple bit fonts, load qfonts temporarily, or turn them into a TSR. I may do something there to temp load/unload the Russian font on the menu. I still need to do some more work in FDI to be able to handle installation from LiveCD-Type2. LiveCD-Type1 is mostly ready. My plan is to put both to the Devs and Community to decide which will be the LiveCD. > * When I choose Turkish in the installer, some letters are changed, for > instance ı becomes an i, ğ becomes a g, ş becomes an s. The text is > still legible and understandable though. I think that may be my fault. The I’ve been unable to figure out what DOS character set is correct in BBEdit. So, it refuses to save them unless I change them. I had to do a bunch of adjustments to frame sizes and line breaks for all of the translations so they displayed properly. If you fix them in the versions that are in the source tree, I can update them so they aren’t mangled. Just avoid any changes that would require me needing to adjust them. > * It wasn't possible to install FD13LGCY.ISO in VirtualBox which said > "Unfortunately, this method of installation is not supported on this > hardware platform. Please try a different installation method". Yes, this was an issue on 1.2 as well. VirtualBox really doesn’t seem to like booting FreeDOS using the original/classic el torito specification. So, the installer checks to see if it is on VB on that media and drops out. It could then be rerun manually. But, it will fail. > It > seemed to work with AQEMU though until the "Gathering some information > to prepare for the installation..." step. Then I got "Unable to locate > the installation packages. A reboot may help" and it becomes a loop. Not really much of a qemu user. I’ll have to investigate. > The > same is also true for FD13FLOP.IMG with VirtualBox. Hmmm, should work.
