Dev: FreeDOS install & update platforms (manual vs automatic)

FreeDOS is an open-source MS-DOS-compatible OS (1.3 series). Its network package tooling is FDNPKG (and the 16-bit fdnpkg16), which install/update FreeDOS ZIP packages from online HTTP/gopher repositories; fdinst is a local-only installer and fdimples a curses front-end. Everything is user-run; no auto-update.

FDNPKG's original author ended development at 0.99.7 (2020, code moved to SvarDOS); FreeDOS now ships/maintains fdnpkg16.

Mechanism	Manual	Automatic	Auto/Internet mechanism	Maintainer	URL	License
FDNPKG / fdnpkg16	✓	—	User-run; fetches ZIP packages from remote http/gopher repos (e.g. ibiblio.org FreeDOS repo)	Mateusz Viste (orig.); FreeDOS (fdnpkg16)	https://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/	MIT
fdinst	✓	—	None — local install/remove only, no networking	FreeDOS	http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/base/fdinst.htm	OSS

WeKan / Electron applicability

No — FreeDOS is 16-bit real-mode DOS; Node.js/Electron (and thus the WeKan desktop) cannot run.
