> > Can dosemu be installed if DOS is not installed? DOS does not have to be installed on the hard-drive for dosemu to be installed. Some version of DOS must be available for dosemu to be able to "boot" thou
It does *not* have to be MS-DOS. I've been running DR-DOS for years under dosemu. Caldera has OpenDOS (which is a descendant of DR-DOS via Novell DOS) and there is a version called FreeDOS (fdos) that is included with the latest versions of dosemu. I've not worked with fdos much - I'm trying to cut down on my reliance on *any* version of DOS - thou I have heard that lredir does not work with fdos. That may have changed recently, I haven't checked. The documentation that comes with dosemu has gotten much better in the past few months, so I'd recommend that you install the latest dosemu*.deb and spend an evening reading the docs - it will do wonders for your understanding of how to get dosemu to boot. As with any Linux/Debian package, there are many different ways in-which you can configure dosemu. It can access a DOS file-system on a partition of your hard-drive, it can access floppies, it can access floppy disk images, it can access hard-drive images, and with lredir it can access directories in the Linux file-system. All in all a very cool utility. > > > Alan Davis > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Good Luck!
