Thanks BJ
UEFI would certainly be a problem. FreeDOS (like any DOS) requires BIOS
services to run. FreeDOS cannot run on a system using UEFI.

Hi there - new to this ML, but this thread showed up when I was looking for

Hello!
I wanted to take a look again at FreeDOS, but when I install it using UTM on my
MacBook Pro (Entry level M1), I’m not able to use the package manager due to
