I suspect that your Linux partition will be either EXT2 or EXT3, and for
Freedos you can use vfat.

I don't know if this relates or not.
I use Freedos in a dosemu emulator in Linux. In that environment, arachne won't
update a screen unless I hold down a moust button, or a shift key (or some key).
Have you tried holding down a shift key to see if your CAD then updates the
screen faster?

If you installed the newer Freedos into dosemu, you need to make some of the
auto-installed dosemu Freedos commands somewhere in your execution path. In
Debian, for example, these are in /usr/lib/dosemu/commands. Copy them to a
directory in your Freedos install, and put them in your path.

My wife's and my computer use the same version of Kubuntu with the same

That sounds like an old menu program I wrote for DOS years ago. It was simple,
but a hyper-menu system. Each menu could launch programs or bat files or other
menus. Menus could be related in any way the user wanted.
It was called showmenu. Menu file names started with the ^ character.

While this may be the toughest goal, it would be great if Freedos could just
add support for some of the newer hardware. Not all of it, because some are
heavily dependent upon a GUI environment. But much is not.
Pushing toward more elaborate GUI front ends will only bog down Freedos, and I
