"I have found a solution, of sorts, as to why Dosemu does not run on 2.6.12 + kernels, basically anything after Debian Sarge. It seems that 2.6.12 the kernel folks added 'radomization_va_space' . This breaks dosemu v.1.2.x and some other programs. The workaround for the v.1.2.x series is to enter, as root, at a comand line of choice,: 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space'. Dosemu now works in Debian Etch...yea :-)" -- Greg Madden
