Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages
ANSI came with windows 95 right? If so, dosbox supports ANSI if you have installed 95 on it I looked some videos about that.

I'm going to translate those files. The mail to Jim was about sometging else then the packages.

It could fit in advanced mode.There will be some people who only need certain packages installed with FreeDOS,or can only fit certain ones.There may be someone using FreeDOS as an embedded network OS,so they would only install the network packages,and the EDIT package.

Perhaps implementing some of the code from the older installer (FD1.1)?That allowed you to select your packages on install.We could take some of the code from that and use it for our modern ADVANCED mode.

I have no problem including any submitted language translation for FDI. By it’s inclusion, it would be supported by FDI either through auto-detection or setting the LANG environment variable.

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI
Hello Jim, Mostly, I don’t think it is too complex. It really only has one mode of operation. Fresh install. However, it will make a backup and preserve package data when a user happens to be upgrading. If no language setting was found, the first screen prompts for the language. Next is the Welcome to the Installer screen. (Clean system, Asks to partition and to format) (Pre-existing OS askes to make a backup) Install Base/All w/without sources. The the install now prompt. (installs OS) Asks to reboot or exit. All of the other prompting and questions are only shown in advanced mode. They just provide an opportunity for the user to override default actions and assumptions that the installer Is there anything in particular that has you concerned? Just an FYI, I am really leaning towards not providing detailed package selection in advanced mode. I have though of several ways to implement it. But, I don’t really like any of the ones I have come up with that don’t require a separate utility that does it. I am not going to create a tool just for that. So, DPS probably won’t be included in the standard installer. Other than DPS, determining what packages are in BASE and ALL, and adding languages, the installer is done. > On Dec 17, 2015, at 11:32 AM, Jim Hall wrote: > > I worry that the new FreeDOS installer is becoming too complex, trying to do > all things for every use case and every user. > > > On Sat, Dec 12, 2015 at 11:49 AM, Jerome E.

I'd say why not do it?
