Dear Boudewijn, It's been awhile since I used dosemu, but as I recall...
The "C: drive" is an image file that you specify, or you could specify a partition. You make this setting in file /etc/dosemu.conf, for example: in file /etc/dosemu.conf: $_hdimage = "/dev/hda1" In the above example, I've specified a partition. You could just specify a file. Make sure that file is writable - if it's read only, you'll have problems. You should be able to start dosemu with the command: dos -k And exit with the command "exitemu" good luck, Robert On Sat, 13 Dec 2003 11:44:04 +0100 Boudewijn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I installed dosemu 1.0.2.1 into my Sarge system. > > Commands like dir work, but whenever I need disk access, for example > C:\> md myprogs, I get: > C:\> md: access denied > > I retried as root, + I tried commenting out of /etc/dosemu/users > "all nosuidroot c_all # disallow suid access by default" > And "all suidroot". > > I do not understand where the C: drive is located, but root should > surely have access. > Shellscript /usr/bin/dosemu + executable /usr/bin/dosemu.bin are > root:root and -rwxr-xr-x. > > md is probably part of /usr/lib/freedos/command > which is a "link to unknown" (?) root:root and lrw-r--r-- > and al commands in freedos/bin are root:root and -rw-r--r- > some of these, say touch, should also access the drive. > Should here be some x'es? > > Found a log in /tmp: > > Running unpriviledged in low feature mode > kernel CPU speed is 2399000798 Hz > Running on CPU=586, FPU=1 > using stderr for debug-output > debug flags: -a > debug flags: -dARWDCvXkiTsm#pQgcwhIExMnPrSgZ > ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: X: Unable to open font > "vga"ERROR: , trying "vga"... > ERROR: , trying "vga"... > ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: X: Unable to open font > "vga"ERROR: , trying "9x15"... > ERROR: , trying "9x15"... > > These fonts seem not the problem. > > Ideas anybody?
