There is a typo there ‘bo’ needs to be ‘no’. Sorry

Those 3&4 , prompting we can translate. That’s bo problem because it’s writing.
For me the question remains after that: What is easier?
3&4 you shouldn’t worry about translating. Also if this is not translated it
isn’t a problem either. Microsoft doesn’t translate their BSOD to dutch. This
maybe be an incorrect comparison but it’s to give you an idea. FreeDOS 1.0 had
full language support, for my language but the date and time command weren’t
translated. What I want to say with this is, don’t worry about those prompting
and translating, it will be just fine! :)

Onderwerp: [Freedos-devel] FDI remaining issue
Hello all,
Preview 13 testing is still underway. So far, I have not received any reports of
major bugs or serious hiccups. However, there is one serious issue that is yet
to be resolved to my satisfaction. The MBR issue. When incompatible boot code
already is present or if the USB image is drive C: (targeting D:), post
install
fails to boot. Since it shouldn’t blast existing boot code, I guess the first
situation
is ok. However, the second is more tricky. Why is sys not updating the MBR?
If you force it with /BOOT or other option, you will run into the first problem.
As I see it, there are 4 solutions.
1) Don’t worry about it. Let the user fix it.
2) Write a program to figure out drive letter and test MBR, Blank force new,
Exists leave it alone.
3) Like 2, except if it exists prompt user to blast it.
4) Don’t worry about it. But, always prompt user in advanced mode.
1 easiest solution
2 & 3 are a bit of a pain and require figuring out what drive and partition the
kernel has assigned
to a specific drive letter.
3 & 4 easy, but will require some more prompting and language translations.
Thanks in advance.
Jerome
