I would like to discuss ideas on improving that keyboard layout menu, because the screen has run out of space and there are other layouts which aren't presented there, like the Cherokee and the Colemak, which you mentioned below.
The keyboard layout menu is beautiful on the first screen but, as you select "More...", the next screen does not receive the same refinement. Again — if there's someone out there reading fd-devel which could work on that, please either show yourself here or contact me at hperon -at- terra.com.br. >> • For some reason (and I don't know why), AUTOEXEC.BAT is created so to >> look for the turkish FGĞIOD layout on KEYBRD3.SYS, instead of looking >> for it on KEYBRD2.SYS. > Regarding Turkish, my advice would be to use the Turkish QWERTY layout > as the default and/or the first option because it's by far the most > widely used one and other operating systems do so too.

I had actually assumed that "Turkish F" was the most used keyboard layout, therefore I had not provided further information at the time, but I'll correct that. >> ISO Latin codepages for FreeDOS are ready to go, for a long time >> already, by the way.

Thank you for the tip on the Bépo layout; actually, I had already learned about it. I just didn't work on that yet. It's a very impressive layout, covering many languages written with the latin script. It seems that there's even support for vietnamese. There's no support for african languages on it, but I have already provided layouts for those languages anyway.
