Does FreeDOS and/or FreeDOS-32 support Unicode? I know the original MS-DOS did not, but was curious if FreeDOS does. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.118.72.111 ( talk • contribs) . 19:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
With this diff [1] I am removing a bunch of superfluous information. The point of this tiny paragraph is to state that FreeDOS can not be used as the bootloader for Win9x. It's not a general discussion of the DOS usage of Win9x, which was incorrect anyways. In discussion of a bootloader, it is irrelevant whether DOS was available as a separate product. "will refuse to run on anything but versions of MS-DOS that came with them" is a POV statement, it's not about refusal, it's a basic design issue that DOS is being avoided entirely. This was also a recent edit that prompted my edit. "As a result, FreeDOS can not run Windows 95, 98, or Millennium Edition" Yes, that says the same thing the previous sentence did. We do not need to repeat ourselves. I also cut the list of boot-managers to only mention the one that comes with FreeDOS. We don't need a list, because any number of dozens can manage this.

The lead section says there is no default GUI, however, one can type "dosshell" and get to a GUI, although adding this to the installation options is required, I think. 161.31.231.60 ( talk) 20:09, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

$ curl http://freedos.org/ curl: (6) Could not resolve host: freedos.org
nslookup
just now and my DNS returns a non-authoritative redirect leading to www.freedos.org instead. It appears sometimes, one editor alone cannot do all the testing by himself. Best regards,

I have just added archive links to one external link on
FreeDOS. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

The Revision History table is linked to citation/note [13] which is an email from 2007. The table which cites this email also includes revisions with dates of 2012 and 2016 (which is yet in the future) that are not and could not be mentioned in 2007. Where is the proof of this future release? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CC23:7800:ED7A:D368:BB6F:2D67 ( talk) 05:54, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
